Spatial Assimilation as a Socioeconomic Outcome.

Massey, Douglas S.; Denton, Nancy A.

American Sociological Review, v50 n1 p94-106 Feb 1985

Analysis of individual-level data from the 1970 Census confirms earlier findings, based on census tract data, about Hispanic and Black spatial assimilation in selected cities. Besides validating the theory of spatial assimilation, the results also indicate that errors resulting when individual-level inferences are made from ecological data are minimal. (KH)
