In and out of Chinatown: Residential Mobility and Segregation of New York City's Chinese.

Zhou, Min; Logan, John R.

Social Forces, v70 n2 p387-407 Dec 1991

The tendency for New York area Chinese to live outside Chinatown is related to socioeconomic status, educational attainment, marriage, and fertility. But unique characteristics of the enclave economy, immigrants' kinship ties to the ethnic community, and ethnic segmentation of housing markets also structure residential patterns. Contains 30 references. (Author/SV)
