Abstract Details

2016, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Sociology.
An extensive literature examines minority access to suburban residence as an indicator of spatial assimilation. However, much of this research either lacks analysis of the latest data or focuses on broad categories of race and ethnicity such as Asians and Latinos, overlooking variations within these groups. In this paper, I analyze the suburbanization patterns of two racial and eight national ancestry groups as of 2010, as well as trends from 1980 to 2010. I measure the effects of both household- and metropolitan area-level characteristics in these ten groups’ suburbanization levels. The findings suggest that spatial assimilation theory is not applicable to the same degree for all groups. In other words, language proficiency, high educational attainment, and socioeconomic advantages do not necessarily guarantee spatial upward mobility for certain groups; rather, other characteristics of groups and metropolitan areas play a role in the broader process of suburban residence.
