Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Political Science.
The purpose of this study is to examine the residential housing patterns and preferences of middle to upper income African Americans. In particular, what effect does socioeconomic status have on residential housing preferences? I approach this research by investigating the influence of stereotypes and the high level of linked fate that Blacks in these income categories are thought to maintain. The general hypothesis suspects that middle to upper income African Americans, when faced with the choice between integrated or predominantly black neighborhoods, will opt for the integrated neighborhood despite their feelings of common fate and racial uplift. The findings suggest that stereotypes play a considerable role in the residential preferences of blacks prompting them to avoid predominantly black areas in favor of more diverse neighborhoods.
