suburban New York&#8211;Long Island and northern New Jersey&#8211;do well.\u00a0 I think for Asians in New York, the segregation dynamic is affected by class and immigration status.\u00a0 When immigrants first arrive they tend to live in segregated areas of New York city, but if they managed to accumulate wealth, they are then able to move out into suburban areas and do their best to blend in to the predominantly white suburbs.\u00a0 This may also be true in California.\u00a0 The bigger cities tend to be much more segregated for Asians, but the outlying suburban areas are not as segregated.<\/p>\n<p>I think, as someone pointed out earlier, Asian Americans seem to have a less entrenched form of segregation than their Black counterparts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is a follow-up to an earlier post, you can look at this post from\u00a0July 2nd\u00a0where I discuss the different dimensions of residential segregation.\u00a0 That post discusses a few of the methodological issues, and it links to the Census &hellip;
