Spatial Indices of Segregation
Abstract
Segregation is commonly measured by means of an index of dissimilarity. A recent 'boundary modified' version of the index was formulated. It was based upon the concept that segregation is a separation created by spatial structure imposed upon the social space and thus interaction between racial groups is limited. The index takes into account one of the spatial etements—contiguity—but ignores the others. This paper argues that the length of the common boundary between two areal units and the shape of the areal units are important spatial components in determining segregation. Thus, a family of segregation indices is derived by incorporating these spatial components and can be applied to various spatial configurations. One of the indices possesses a distinctive property which is useful for comparing segregation levels in regions of various scales.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
