Breaking the circle: An exploration of how metropolitan characteristics moderate the links between neighborhood and workhood segregation

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: • Residential and workhood segregation are correlated; what factors break this link? • We study race and class segregation patterns, for 380 U.S. MSAs, 2011 to 2018. • Transport improvements predicted stronger home and workhood segregation links. • Denser MSAs show greater coupling of residential and workhood racial segregation. • MSAs with more minority share had stronger home-workhood racial segregation link.
