STShin Bin TanPDPriyanka deSouza

Key Points

  • This research investigates the factors that moderate the relationship between residential and workhood segregation, focusing on race and class patterns.
  • Analyzed segregation patterns across 380 U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) from 2011 to 2018
  • Examined the impact of transport improvements on segregation links
  • Investigated the correlation of density and minority share on segregation dynamics.
  • Transport improvements predicted a stronger link between residential and workhood segregation.
  • Denser MSAs showed a greater coupling of residential and workhood racial segregation.
  • MSAs with a higher minority share had a stronger home-workhood racial segregation link.

Abstract

• Residential and workhood segregation are correlated; what factors break this link? • We study race and class segregation patterns, for 380 U.S. MSAs, 2011 to 2018. • Transport improvements predicted stronger home and workhood segregation links. • Denser MSAs show greater coupling of residential and workhood racial segregation. • MSAs with more minority share had stronger home-workhood racial segregation link.
