作者利用熵指数的独特属性来探讨1970年至2000年间按种族/民族和家庭收入阶层划分的隔离趋势。直到20世纪90年代，按种族划分的种族隔离有所减少，按收入阶层划分的种族隔离有所增加。然后检查了某些亚群之间的隔离；尽管总体上的种族隔离已经减少，但一些群体的种族隔离程度仍然较高。特别是，贫困家庭与其他人之间的隔离比其他收入群体的家庭彼此之间的隔离更严重。黑人与其他群体之间的隔离程度要高于其他群体之间的隔离程度。最后，与其他种族/族裔群体的穷人相比，贫穷的黑人家庭被隔离。作者发现，贫穷的黑人家庭是唯一被隔离的，这种隔离只会随着时间的推移而轻微下降。
The author uses the unique properties of the entropy index to explore trends in segregation by race/ethnicity and income class for families from 1970 to 2000. Declines in segregation by race and increases in segregation by income class were found until the 1990s, when segregation by income declined. Segregation among certain subgroups was then examined; some groups remain more segregated, even as segregation in general has declined. In particular, the poor families experience greater segregation from others than do families in other income groups from each other. Blacks experience higher levels of segregation from other groups than those other groups do from each other. Finally, the segregation of poor, black families compared to the poor of other race/ethnic groups was examined. The author finds that poor black families are uniquely segregated and that this segregation declines only slightly with time.
