Successful revitalization efforts are transforming urban America and have special urgency in Rust Belt metropolises. Economic changes and immigration are rearranging the housing and labor markets in locations such as Chicago and Detroit. Older neighborhoods are redeveloped, new condos are built near downtown while the suburban ring continues to grow. But like most metropolises, they remain divided by race and by huge city-suburban differences in economic status. Will revitalization exacerbate racial polarization or minimize it? This project uses comprehensive and innovative face-to-face surveys in Chicago and Detroit to address ongoing questions and debates about residential segregation. The data gathered will test specific hypotheses about how race itself, racial attitudes, and other factors influence neighborhood segregation on the three steps of residential mobility: the decision to move, the search process, and the selection of the most desirable alternative. In addition, because little is known about the residential choices of recent immigrants and whether white and African-American homeseekers are influenced by the presence of immigrants in a prospective neighborhood, Hispanic neighborhoods will be oversampled in Chicago and, if resources permit, in Detroit. Several methodological innovations will improve the quality of data. For example, computer assisted interviewing will allow a more precise measure of the net effects of neighborhood racial composition independent of other characteristics on neighborhood evaluations. Broader Impacts: The project itself will be an integral part of graduate training at both universities through practicum courses in survey methods that will involve students in all stages of the research process. The research team itself is diverse, and, in the past, practica on this topic have attracted numerous students and teaching assistants from underrepresented groups. The topic of the study has broad implications for society more generally, as undoubtedly urban policies and immigration will be toward the top of the domestic agenda in coming decades. Survey respondents will receive a report of the results; a highly accessible book describing the consequences of revitalization for Rust Belt metropolises will be written; and a conference at which the results will be presented will target community leaders, urban planners, fair housing activists, and political officials. In addition, the methodological innovations will appeal to those interested in using survey methods to shed light on complex and socially sensitive issues across a wide range of scientific disciplines.

成功的复兴努力正在改变美国的城市，在锈带大都市中具有特殊的紧迫性。 经济变化和移民正在重新安排芝加哥和底特律等地的住房和劳动力市场。 旧的社区被重新开发，新的公寓建在市中心附近，而郊区环继续增长。 但像大多数大都市一样，他们仍然被种族和城市与郊区在经济地位上的巨大差异所分割。 振兴会加剧种族两极分化还是将其最小化？该项目在芝加哥和底特律进行全面和创新的面对面调查，以解决有关居住隔离的持续问题和辩论。 收集的数据将测试具体的假设，种族本身，种族态度和其他因素如何影响社区隔离的三个步骤的住宅流动性：决定移动，搜索过程，并选择最理想的替代品。 此外，由于对新移民的居住选择以及白色和非洲裔美国人是否会受到潜在社区移民的影响知之甚少，西班牙裔社区将在芝加哥进行过度抽样，如果资源允许，在底特律也是如此。一些方法上的创新将提高数据质量。 例如，计算机辅助访谈将允许更精确地测量邻里种族组成的净效应，而不依赖于邻里评估的其他特征。 更广泛的影响： 该项目本身将是这两所大学研究生培训的一个组成部分，通过调查方法的实习课程，让学生参与研究过程的所有阶段。 研究团队本身是多样化的，在过去，关于这个主题的实践吸引了许多来自代表性不足群体的学生和助教。 该研究的主题对整个社会具有广泛的影响，因为毫无疑问，城市政策和移民将成为未来几十年国内议程的首要议题。 调查受访者将收到一份结果报告;一本描述锈带大都市振兴后果的易于阅读的书将被撰写;结果将被提交的会议将针对社区领袖，城市规划师，公平住房活动家和政治官员。 此外，方法上的创新将吸引那些有兴趣使用调查方法来揭示跨广泛科学学科的复杂和社会敏感问题的人。
