Marriage across racial lines, excluding unions between Latinos and non-Latinos of the same race, nationally accounted for 2.2 percent of marriages in 1992, up from 0.4 percent in 1960. Rates more than doubled in the remaining years of the 1990s to 5.2 percent in 2000. Against this backdrop, this project investigates the neighborhood geographies of mixed-race couples. The extensive literature on US urban residential segregation that investigates issues of neighborhood choice and constraint for members of racial and ethnic groups has yet to examine, theoretically or empirically, the residential choices of mixed-race partners. This project seeks to answer a number of basic theoretical and empirical questions. Do the processes that generate and sustain segregation, as we currently understand them, apply to mixed-race households? Do mixed-race families live in segregated or diverse neighborhoods? Do they live in neighborhoods dominated by a particular race/ethnic group? Does this depend on the race of the male partner or the female partner? Do the social class positions of the partners affect the couple's residential choices? These initial steps in the investigation of the residential geography of mixed-race households set the stage for us to address two derivative questions. How does the increase in mixed-race partnering affect levels of residential segregation in neighborhoods? It may be that the rise in mixed-race partnerships due to interracial contact outside neighborhoods (such as at college or work) drives down levels of residential segregation within neighborhoods. Do the residential choices of mixed-race couples have implications for the way they racially/ethnically identify their multiracial children? Residence in a neighborhood dominated by a single racial/ethnic group may encourage mixed-race couples to identify their children as members of that group. This project will investigate the racial/ethnic identification choices that mixed-race couples make for their multiracial children across an array of racially identified places.This project will provide the first glimpse of the neighborhood geographies of mixed-race households in both 1990 and 2000. The ability to investigate these geographies has been limited to date because publicly available census data provide no information on household structure at neighborhood scales. Recently released restricted access data from the long forms of the 1990 and 2000 Censuses provide such data, allowing us to advance significantly our understanding of racial segregation, urban social geographies, and the construction of racial identity in mixed-race families.

跨种族婚姻的婚姻，不包括拉丁美洲人与同一种族的非拉丁诺斯之间的工会，在1992年占婚姻的2.2％，高于1960年的0.4％。在1990年代的剩余几年中，比率增加了一倍以上，达到了2000年的5.2％，这一项目偏向于这个背景，该项目调查了邻里的混合群众区域的邻里地理位置。 关于美国城市住宅隔离的广泛文献调查了邻里选择和对种族和族裔群体成员的限制问题，尚未在理论上或经验上审查混合种族伴侣的住宅选择。 该项目旨在回答许多基本的理论和经验问题。 众所周知，产生和维持种族隔离的过程是否适用于混合种族家庭？ 混血家庭生活在隔离或不同的社区中吗？ 他们生活在特定种族/族裔群体主导的社区中吗？ 这取决于男性伴侣或女性伴侣的种族吗？ 合作伙伴的社会阶层职位会影响夫妻俩的住宅选择吗？ 在调查混合种族家庭住宅地理的研究中，这些最初的步骤为我们奠定了阶段，以解决两个衍生问题。 混合种族合作伙伴的增加如何影响社区中的住宅隔离水平？ 由于邻里外部接触（例如在大学或工作中），混合种族伙伴关系的上升可能会降低社区内的住宅隔离水平。 混合赛夫妇的住宅选择是否对他们在种族/种族上认同自己的多种族子女的方式有影响？ 由单个种族/族裔统治的社区中的住所可能会鼓励混合竞选夫妇将其子女确定为该群体的成员。 该项目将调查混合婚姻夫妇在一系列种族认同的地方为其多种族儿童做出的种族/种族认同选择。该项目将对1990年和2000年的混合种族家庭的邻里地理位置进行第一个瞥见。由于公开可用的库斯斯数据提供了限制，因为公开可用的库斯斯数据限制了在邻里范围内的信息，因此调查这些地理位置的能力是有限的。 最近发布了从1990年和2000年人口普查的长期形式的限制访问数据提供此类数据，从而使我们能够显着了解种族隔离，城市社会地理位置以及混合种族家庭中种族认同的建设。
