Suburban Racial Change and Suburban School Segregation, 1987-1995

  • Increases in suburban enrollments shares of Black, Hispanics and Asian students were strongly and positively related to increases in suburban segregation levels.
  • Changes in Black segregation were predominantly related to changes in between-district (residential) suburban segregation, while changes in Hispanic and Asian segregation were related to a combination of between and within district segregation changes.
  • Association between racial composition and segregation is descriptive rather than causal, since it describes the association between concurrent patterns of change.
  • Suburban in-migration patterns are occurring in ways that tend to increase segregation.
