Neighborhood Ethnic Transition and its Socio-economic Connections.

- Abstract
The present study designs a new classification scheme of neighbourhood ethnic transition and uses this scheme to examine the residential patterns of visible minorities in Canada's three largest metropolitan areas. Based on 1986 and 1996 census tract profile data, this study finds that the conventional invasion-succession process of neighbourhood ethnic transition is generally not applicable to major visible minority groups in large Canadian cities. However, divergent patterns of ethnic transition have emerged among visible minority groups. Blacks tend both to live in, and move into, neighbourhoods with low socio-economic status (SES). South Asians also tend to live in neighbourhoods with low SES, but they do not become further concentrated in such neighbourhoods. In contrast, the Chinese population increases more rapidly in neighbourhoods with higher SES.
