The Changing Geographic Structure of Black-White Segregation in the United States.

Massey, Douglas S.; Hajnal, Zoltan L.

Social Science Quarterly, v76 n3 p527-42 Sep 1995

Measures black segregation at four geographic levels: state, county, city, and neighborhood, from 1900 to 1990. Cross-references data from the decennial U.S. census with dissimilarity and isolation indices. Concludes that segregation patterns have consistently evolved to minimize white contact with blacks.
