Spatial Segmentation and the Black Middle Class
Abstract
Ethnographic studies of the black middle class focus attention on the ways in which residential environments condition the experiences of different segments of the black class structure. This study places these arguments in a larger demographic context by providing a national analysis of neighborhood inequality and spatial inequality of different racial and ethnic groups in urban America. The findings show that there has been no change over time in the degree to which majority-black neighborhoods are surrounded by spatial disadvantage. Predominantly black neighborhoods, regardless of socioeconomic composition, continue to be spatially linked with areas of severe disadvantage. However, there has been substantial change in the degree to which middle- and upper-income African-American households have separated themselves from highly disadvantaged neighborhoods. These changes are driven primarily by the growing segment of middle- and upper-income African-Americans living in neighborhoods in which they are not the majority group, both in central cities and in suburbs.

In the citing paper
“Majority Black neighborhoods were so substantially segregated and poverty so concentrated within them that even Black residents with an annual income of $100,000 or more a year lived with higher levels of neighborhood disadvantage (e.g., poor public school funding, poor housing, lowered grocery options) than White families earning less than a 1/3rd of that amount (Sharkey, 2014).”

In the citing paper
“In a nationwide analysis of neighborhood and spatial inequality of US census tracts and households, Sharkey (2014) found that no matter the socioeconomic configuration, majority Black neighborhoods were more often physically close to regions that were severely disadvantaged.”

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.
