Patterns of ethnic migration and settlement are pertinent issues in today’s society. This chapter presents evidence from a recently completed ESRC-funded research study which examined the movement of different ethnic groups towards wards where their own ethnic group has a relatively high or low concentration at the ward level. The chapter provides an overview of the main theories and hypotheses concerning these trends both abroad and in Britain and contributes to current understandings of patterns of residential settlement for white and minority groups. The results challenge some assumptions about the migration of minority ethnic groups which supports recent evidence showing dispersal for ethnic groups from settlement areas at the district level. Analyses are presented for the whole of England and Wales and for London.
