Minority Suburban Migration

密歇根大学的William Frey虽然许多学术研究致力于种族和空间问题与种族隔离和地理分布问题的研究，但这些工作大多涉及新种族和民族群体的静态分布或这些静态分布的变化。评估与大都市区内种族和空间变化有关的移徙进程的工作相对较少。更仔细地研究种族迁移动态的研究倾向于遵循一种主要关注白人和黑人郊区移民的旧范式，这种范式是在大都市空间的简单两类城市-郊区二分法的基础上进行审查的。这项拟议的研究是对大都市地区内少数民族移民的研究，超越了黑白、城市-郊区的类型。它利用了详细的2000年人口普查移民数据。这项研究承认了两个发展。首先，移民和最近在外国出生的人口在过去20年里大幅增加，创造了更广泛的种族和少数民族混合。他们的流动，无论是进入大都市区还是在大都市区内，都需要对中心城市和郊区基于种族的移民动态有一个新的理解。第二个发展涉及存在于广泛类别的郊区中的社区的多样性增加，这使得后一词作为一套同质的生活方式和人口特征(如种族)的表征意义较小。郊区就业中心、具有与中心城市相似特征的近郊、低密度居民点以及越来越多的郊区通勤需要一个扩展的地理框架来分析城市和郊区内的种族移民。这项研究使用基于20个最大的大都市地区的比较大都市框架，将展示种族和族裔移民/土著移民过程如何在郊区社区和中心城市的不同类别中变化，以及这些地区及其大都市地区的社会人口和结构特征如何塑造这些进程。这项研究将为诸如种族选择性逃亡、城市和近郊衰落、就业与居住不匹配以及跨社区隔离等老问题提供新的线索。它还与当前的政策问题有关，这些问题涉及与不同税基有关的近郊和远郊之间少数族裔占多数的差距，获得交通和教育等资源的机会，以及大都市地区内新出现的数字鸿沟，人们认为这种鸿沟因郊区扩张及其新出现的政治影响而加剧。

SES-0319082William FreyUniversity of Michigan While much scholarly research has been devoted to issues of race and space with respect to segregation and geographic distributional issues, most of this work has dealt with static distributions of new race and ethnic groups or changes in those static distributions. Comparatively less work has evaluated the migration processes associated with changes in race and space within the metropolitan area. The more careful studies that have examined the race migration dynamic have tended to follow an old paradigm that focused primarily on white and black suburban migration, examined on the basis of a simple two-category city-suburb dichotomy of metropolitan space. The proposed research is a study of minority migration within metropolitan areas that goes beyond the black-white, city-suburb typology. It utilizes detailed Census 2000 migration data. This study recognizes two developments. First, immigration and the recent foreign-born population have increased significantly over the past two decades, creating a broader mix of race and ethnic minorities. Their movement, both into and within the metropolitan area, requires a new understanding of race-based migration dynamics of the central city and within the suburbs. The second development involves the increased diversity of communities that exist within the broad category of suburbs, rendering the latter term less meaningful as a characterization of a homogenous set of lifestyles and demographic attributes such as race. The proliferation of suburban employment centers, inner suburbs with characteristics similar to central cities, low density residential settlements, and, increasing inter-suburb commuting calls for an extended geographic framework for the analysis of city and intra-suburban race ethnic migration. Using a comparative metropolitan framework based on the 20 largest metropolitan areas, this research will show how race and ethnic immigrant/native migration processes vary across classes of suburban communities and central cities and how they are shaped by these areas and their metropolitan areas' socio-demographic and structural features. This study will shed new light on old issues such as race-selective flight, city and inner suburb decline, employment-residence mismatches, and segregation across communities. It is also relevant to current policy issues associated with minority-majority disparities between inner and outer suburbs linked to differential tax bases, access to resources, such as transportation and education, and the emerging digital divide within metropolitan areas which are seen to be exacerbated by expanding suburban sprawl and its emerging political implications.
