SES-1024390Mark FossettWenquan ZhangTexas A&M UniversityResidential segregation between racial and socioeconomic groups is a striking, enduring feature of urban areas in the United States and it is linked with disadvantages in life chances for vulnerable populations, particularly low income groups and racial minority groups. This project will improve the ability to study segregation by introducing more accurate measures that can be used over a wider range of circumstances than was previously possible. The project will establish the benefits of the new measures and conduct studies to determine whether findings from past research need to be re-considered based on results obtained using the new measures. In addition, the project will conduct detailed segregation analyses that were not feasible in the past. As an example, the project will examine racial segregation within and between socioeconomic groups in more detail and for more cities than has previously been possible. Broader Impacts: The project will make it possible to measure segregation accurately over a wider range of circumstances than before. This will expand the scope of segregation studies and improve basic knowledge regarding segregation patterns. This will contribute to a better understanding of segregation and how its adverse consequences for vulnerable populations may be reduced.

种族和社会经济群体之间的居住隔离是美国城市地区的一个显著而持久的特征，它与弱势群体，特别是低收入群体和少数族裔群体的生活机会的劣势有关。这一项目将提高研究种族隔离的能力，因为它采用了比以前更准确的措施，可在更广泛的情况下使用。该项目将确定新措施的益处，并进行研究，以确定是否需要根据使用新措施取得的结果重新考虑过去的研究结果。此外，该项目将进行详细的隔离分析，这在过去是不可行的。例如，该项目将比以往更详细地审查社会经济群体内部和之间的种族隔离，并对更多的城市进行审查。更广泛的影响：该项目将使在比以前更广泛的情况下准确衡量种族隔离成为可能。这将扩大隔离研究的范围，并增进关于隔离模式的基本知识。这将有助于更好地了解隔离以及如何减少其对弱势群体的不利影响。
