The Measurement of Diversity: Ethnic and Socio-metric Mixing in Residential Areas

Guseman, Patricia K.; And Others

Social Science Research, 5, 1, 21-34, Mar 76

The qualitative or nominal-level indicators of diversity with units of observation such as census tracts are examined which (1) are operative in the polytomous situation and, (2) measure within-suit diversity rather than divergences among units. Six qualitative indicators are explained and compared both theoretically and by example. (Author/JM)
