LOINC description : A measure of neighborhood race/ethnic residential segregation, based on data from
the U.S. Census Bureau. This measure examines various population characteristics to
determine the degree of race/ethnic residential segregation, the degree to which various
groups reside in different neighborhoods (Iceland & Douzet, 2006). Race/ethnic residential
segregation, particularly when resulting from discrimination, can have negative consequences
for minority group members. Race/ethnic residential segregation can limit residential
choice, constrain economic and educational opportunities by limiting people's access
to good schools and jobs, serve to concentrate poverty in disadvantaged neighborhoods,
and contribute to social exclusion and alienation (Massey & Denton, 1988). Residential
segregation also affects the nature and quality of intergroup relations in society:
segregation reduces contact between groups and is usually thought to both cause and
reflect polarization across communities (Reardon, 2006). Following Reardon (2006),
a region is segregated to the extent to which individuals of a different group live
in different neighborhoods within a region. That is, the term segregation does not
apply to individual neighborhoods but to larger regions (e.g., school districts, counties,
metropolitan statistical areas.;
