Abstract
Ethnic neighborhoods have a long-recognized association with neighborhood community connection as measured by trust, belongingness, and cooperation with neighbors. How consistent is community connection for racial/ethnic minorities within ethnic neighborhoods? Does this community connection extend beyond these neighborhoods? To address these questions, I utilize the 2014/15 wave of the Public Health Management Corporations (PHMC) Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey. I use Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) on the PHMC to explore how the relationship between race/ethnicity and community connection vary across space. I compare the relative strength of these relations to the location of ethnic neighborhoods identified by the 2011–2015 American Community Survey. While I find that Black community connection is generally weaker outside of mostly Black neighborhoods, it is not consistently strong in these neighborhoods, either. For the Hispanic population, even more variation exists within and beyond mostly non-White neighborhoods.
