DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Racial residential segregation persists in most metropolitan areas in the U.S., and most notably in rust belts cities in the Midwest and Northeast. Using newly-collected survey and qualitative data in Chicago and Detroit, we propose to address current controversies and gaps in our knowledge about how race/ethnicity, racial attitudes, and experiences with discrimination, in concert with other key social, demographic, and economic characteristics do or do not shape individuals' housing-related strategies, experiences, and preferences that, in the aggregate, have the potential to perpetuate or reduce residential segregation. Our data include a number of new measures of residential preferences and a richer range of predictor variables than has been available, to provide better tests of the competing theories about the factors underlying these preferences. These include respondent evaluations of videos of actual neighborhoods, efficient measures using maps that assess respondent evaluations of actual communities, and an extension of Charles' (2000) technique to measure preferences in a multi-ethnic context. After developing the models of preferences we will, in turn, test the impact of preferences on the current racial composition of the individual's neighborhood. Another key innovation in our study is the presence of a rich set of data (both quantitative and qualitative) that makes possible analyses pertinent to the largely unaddressed question of whether there are racial/ethnic differences in housing search strategies, experiences, and locations. A variety of deleterious health and other consequences of residential segregation for African Americans have already been identified. These range from disparities in infant and adult mortality rates, educational attainment, employment, death rates from homicide, rates of single motherhood, and the accumulation of equity in homes. Understanding the reasons behind persistent racial residential segregation is an important step in addressing the health and social consequences of such segregation. Our research focus is on individual- level attitudes, experiences, and preferences with regard to this process, and will provide insight into how people make decisions about where to live.

描述（由申请人提供）：种族居住隔离在美国大多数大都市区持续存在，尤其是在中西部和东北部的铁锈地带城市。利用芝加哥和底特律新收集的调查和定性数据，我们建议解决当前关于种族/族裔、种族态度和歧视经历如何与其他关键社会、人口和经济特征相结合的争议和知识差距是否会影响个人与住房相关的策略、经验和偏好，这些策略、经验和偏好总体上有可能使居住隔离永久化或减少。我们的数据包括许多新的居住偏好衡量标准以及比现有数据更丰富的预测变量，以便更好地检验有关这些偏好背后因素的竞争理论。其中包括受访者对实际社区视频的评估、使用地图评估受访者对实际社区评价的有效措施，以及 Charles (2000) 技术的扩展，以衡量多种族背景下的偏好。在开发出偏好模型后，我们将依次测试偏好对个人所在社区当前种族构成的影响。我们研究的另一个关键创新是提供了一组丰富的数据（定量和定性），这些数据使得可以对很大程度上未解决的问题进行分析，即住房搜索策略、经验和地点是否存在种族/民族差异。居住隔离对非裔美国人造成的各种有害健康和其他后果已经被发现。这些差异包括婴儿和成人死亡率、教育程度、就业、凶杀死亡率、单亲母亲比率以及家庭公平积累等方面的差异。了解持续存在的种族居住隔离背后的原因是解决此类隔离对健康和社会后果的重要一步。我们的研究重点是个人层面的态度、经历和对此过程的偏好，并将深入了解人们如何决定居住地点。
