SUBURBANIZATION PATTERNS OF RACIAL AND ETHNIC GROUPS

拟议的项目是郊区化的研究 一个广泛的模式 美国主要大都市地区的种族/民族群体。研究 这些模式对于评估是否增加 少数种族/族裔的郊区化是一种 同化或发生在特定的种族和族裔背景下， 等级制度。拟议中的研究将远远超出过去在这方面的研究 问题的重点是郊区之间的差异，特别是对那些 影响居民福祉的特征，以及 主要种族/民族类别的差异。此外，一部分 我们的分析将研究城市与郊区的住宅， 个人层面的数据，而不是汇总的数据。 该项目将利用几个主要数据来源。为分析 其中23个不同种族/民族群体的成员居住在郊区的 美国50个最大的大都市地区，我们将利用5%的公众 使用1980年人口普查的样本。然后，为了分析隔离， 这些群体在同一个大都市区的郊区，我们将 使用1980年汇总磁带文件3A中的种族/民族组成数据 人口普查最后，我们将构建一个独特的数据集，为8个选定的 大都市地区将广泛的，已经收集的数据结合在一起， 主要大都市区郊区的特点， 这些郊区的少数民族居民的特点， 摘要磁带文件4 B。 我们的分析将集中在少数群体成员如何获得居住在 具有积极影响生活质量的特点的地方， 居民的生存机会。我们将估计模型， 位置结果作为社会经济，同化和 个人和种族/族裔群体的生命周期特点，我们 我将测试这些模型是否因种族和大都市而异 地区进一步，我们将分析个人的能力“转换” 他们的社会经济和同化特征， 种族/族裔群体财产方面的居住地点， 他们所属的，如大小，美国出生的百分比，以及平均社会经济 status.

The proposed project is a study of suburbanization patterns of a wide range of racial/ethnic groups in major U.S. metropolitan areas. A study of these patterns is essential for evaluating whether the increasing suburbanization of racial/ethnic minorities represents a form of assimilation or occurs within the context of a definite racial and ethnic hierarchy. The proposed research will go well beyond past research on this question by focusing on differences among suburbs, particularly on those characteristics that affect the well-being of residents, and on ethnic differences within major racial/ethnic categories. In addition, one part of our analysis will examine city vs. suburban residence with individual-level, rather than aggregate, data. The project will draw on several major data sources. For an analysis of which members of 23 different racial/ethnic groups reside in suburbs of the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, we will draw on the 5 percent Public Use Sample from the 1980 Census. Then, for an analysis of the segregation of these groups across the suburbs of the same metropolitan areas, we will use racial/ethnic composition data from Summary Tape File 3A of the 1980 Census. Finally, we will construct a unique data set for 8 selected metropolitan areas to join together extensive, already assembled data about the characteristics of suburbs in major metropolitan areas with data on the characteristics of minority-group residents of those suburbs, to be extracted from Summary Tape File 4B. Our analysis will focus on how minority-group members attain residence in places with characteristics that affect positively the quality of life and life chances of their residents. We will estimate models that view locational outcomes as a function of the socioeconomic, assimilation, and life-cycle characteristics of individuals and racial/ ethnic groups, and we will test whether these models vary by ethnic group and across metropolitan areas. Further, we will analyze the ability of individuals to "convert" their socioeconomic and assimilation characteristics into favorable residential locations in terms of properties of the racial/ethnic groups to which they belong, such as size, percent U.S. born, and mean socioeconomic status.
