Abstract Details

2007, Master of Science, University of Akron, Geography.
This study examines contemporary and historic residential patterns of six European ethnic/ancestry groups in U.S. metropolitan areas. Specifically, Pittsburgh and Cleveland are used as case studies. The study attempts to support the hypothesis that the residential patterns exhibited by European ethnic groups are specific to the urban areas in which they reside. Analysis is conducted using four statistical measures (dissimilarity index, isolation index, delta, and Moran’s i) calculated by census tract for both study areas, which consist of the two counties in which Pittsburgh and Cleveland are located – Allegheny County and Cuyahoga County, respectively. Data from 1940 and 2000 U.S. Censuses are used in the calculations, the results of which are compared among ethnic groups and between the two study areas to verify the hypothesis.
