The Effect of Neighborhood Change on Health and Well-Being

项目摘要 这是一项关于社区如何改变其种族/民族和收入构成的研究 由个别家庭作出的流动性选择。随之而来的种族隔离和不同地方的变化 不同种族、民族和收入的人所处的环境对 他们的健康和幸福。这项研究利用了获取与AS的新数据资源关联的记录的优势 多达90%的受访美国人在2000和2010年-追求两个主要目标：目标1)评估 与特定社区级别相关联的进出社区的人流平衡 我们观察到的种族/族裔和收入水平的变化，例如贫困或 种族/民族多样性日益增强。目的2)模拟2000年人们的地理位置和他们的岗位的选择性。 2000个社区的运动，基于2000年的地方如何出现以及它们是如何变化的 在接下来的十年。 拟议的研究建立在越来越多的研究基础上，这些研究打破了对 种族隔离(例如，长期强调白人和黑人之间的鸿沟或穷人之间的简单区别 和非贫困社区)承认美国大都市和 正在发生的各种社会阶层变化。它将使用机密的个人级别的数据 在人口普查研究数据中心(RDC)中，该数据中心已在2000年和2010年人口普查之间建立链接，以跟踪 变化社区的组成变化(将净变化分解为每个社区的人口数量 到达、离开或留下来的小组)。它还将确定相关的个人/家庭特征 每种类型的移动性。 这项对社区变化和居住流动性的研究与当代主要社会 与持续的少数族裔隔离和日益增加的社区多样性有关的关切。研究 在刚果民主共和国进行的调查将展示人口普查局在记录联系和 增加这种持续努力的可能性。

Project Summary This is a study of how neighborhoods are changing their racial/ethnic and income composition as a result of mobility choices made by individual families. The consequent changes in segregation and disparate local environments for people of different race, ethnicity, and income have substantial potential consequences for their health and well-being. The study takes advantage of access to a new data resource – linked records of as many as 90% of enumerated Americans in 2000 and 2010 – to pursue two main aims: Aim 1) To assess the balance of flows of persons into and out of neighborhoods that are associated with specific neighborhood-level changes in race/ethnicity and income levels that we observe, such as increasing concentration of poverty or growing racial/ethnic diversity. Aim 2) To model the selectivity of people's locations in 2000 and their post- 2000 movements in neighborhoods, based both on how places appeared in 2000 and how they were changing in the next decade. The proposed study builds on a growing body of research that breaks with binary conceptualizations of segregation (e.g., the longstanding emphasis on the white-black divide or a simple distinction between poor and non-poor neighborhoods) to acknowledge the multigroup composition of metropolitan America and the variety of kinds of social class changes that are occurring. It will make use of confidential individual-level data in a Census Research Data Center (RDC) that has been linked between the 2000 and 2010 censuses to track changes in composition in changing neighborhoods (decomposing net change into numbers of persons in each group who arrived, left, or stayed). It will also to identify the personal/household characteristics associated with each type of mobility. This study of neighborhood change and residential mobility is highly relevant to major contemporary social concerns related to persistent minority segregation and increasing neighborhood diversity. Research conducted in the RDC will demonstrate the value of the Census Bureau's investment in record linkage and increase the likelihood of continued efforts of this kind.
