The residential segregation of immigrants in American cities, long a classical ecological problem, is reexamined for specific immigrant groups in each of 10 cities in an effort to ascertain the impact of segregation on other aspects of ethnic assimilation. Ability to speak English, citizenship, intermarriage, and occupational composition of 10 immigrant groups in each city are viewed as a function of their residential patterns and other ecological factors. The dynamic significance of spatial distribution for other dimensions of social behavior is stressed.
