moreThis paper is based on a comparison of residential segregation (D) scores for Anglos, Blacks, Latinos and Latino subgroups at the metropolitan area level. The results for Puerto Ricans show that where Puerto Ricans and Anglos have similar levels of suburbanization and similar levels of income residential segregation declines. Similarly, as the gap in owner-occupied housing values between Puerto Ricans and Anglos narrows, their residential segregation declines. Finally, in metro areas where Latino denial rates exceed the Anglo denial rates residential segregation increases.
