Abstract
The factors responsible for observed increases in urban residential segregation by race in the United States during the 1960s are examined. Changes in residential segregation between 1960 and 1970 are decomposed to identify both changes resulting from the structural parameters of the segregation model used and changes resulting from socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the metropolitan area. The results suggest that potential declines in segregation resulting from black gains in the labor market are negated by black population growth and continued suburbanization.
