Race, Class, and Neighborhood: Differences in the Residential Return on Individual Resources.

Villemez, Wayne J.

Social Forces, v59 n2 p414-30 Dec 1980

Based on 1970 data, Blacks were found to receive less residential return than Whites on their individual resources. Blacks resided in inferior neighborhoods despite similar resources. The primary effect of race on residence was as a channeling device, causing Blacks to be sorted into high percent Black neighborhoods. (Author/GC)
