Ethnic Residential Segregation: A Multilevel, Multigroup, Multiscale Approach Exemplified by London in 2011
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop and apply a multilevel modeling approach that is simultaneously capable of assessing multigroup and multiscale segregation in the presence of substantial stochastic variation that accompanies ethnicity rates based on small absolute counts. Bayesian MCMC estimation of a log-normal Poisson model allows the calculation of the variance estimates of the degree of segregation in a single overall model, and credible intervals are obtained to provide a measure of uncertainty around those estimates. The procedure partitions the variance at different levels and implicitly models the dependency (or autocorrelation) at each spatial scale below the topmost one. Substantively, we apply the model to 2011 census data for London, one of the world's most ethnically diverse cities. We find that the degree of segregation depends both on scale and group.

متن کاملThe Measure of Residential Segregation of Socio-Economic Groups by Using Multigroup Indices in Shiraz City
Urban segregation has been a problem of many cities of the world. Many researchers have interested in the urban segregation issues. Urban segregation has strongly concentrated poverty and created underclass. Different types of urban segregation exist, including income and racial or ethnical segregation, and depending on the contextual mechanisms within a city. To understand and plan a better co...
متن کاملA Multilevel Modelling Approach to Measuring Changing Patterns of Ethnic Composition and Segregation among London Secondary Schools , 2001 - 2010
Multilevel binomial logistic regression has recently been proposed for the special case of statistically modelling the changing composition and segregation of two groups of individuals over two occasions among organisational units, enabling inferences to be made about the underlying social processes which generate these patterns. A simulation method can then be used to reexpress the model param...
متن کاملResidential ethnic segregation and stroke risk in Mexican Americans: the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi project.
OBJECTIVE Residential ethnic segregation may operate through multiple mechanisms to increase stroke risk. The current study evaluated if residential ethnic segregation was associated with stroke risk in a bi-ethnic population. DESIGN Incident strokes were identified in Nueces County, Texas from 2000 to 2010. Residential ethnic segregation (range: 0-1) was derived for each census tract in the ...
متن کاملFuture directions in residential segregation and health research: a multilevel approach.
The authors examine the research evidence on the effect of residential segregation on health, identify research gaps, and propose new research directions. Four recommendations are made on the basis of a review of the sociological and social epidemiology literature on residential segregation: (1) develop multilevel research designs to examine the effects of individual, neighborhood, and metropol...
