Demographic analysis reveals reduced racial threat effects on residential segregation in diverse metropolitan areas, indicating that multi-ethnic diversity buffers discriminatory housing patterns.

Key Points

To examine whether racial threat effects that drive residential segregation between whites and growing minority populations are moderated by overall metropolitan racial and ethnic diversity.
Analyzed Black-White and Hispanic-White residential segregation using metropolitan area data from the 1990 and 2000 U.S. Censuses.
Estimated standard segregation models using robust regression analyses to assess interaction effects between minority population growth and multi-ethnic diversity.
Demonstrated that the racial threat effect on housing segregation is significantly diminished in metropolitan areas with higher multi-ethnic diversity.
Confirmed consistent attenuation of threat-induced residential segregation across both Black-White and Hispanic-White pairings.
