Chapter 4 Multigroup Segregation Patterns and Determinants: The Case of Immigrants in an Italian City

Strong evidence indicates that housing market dynamics and ownership distribution significantly influence immigrant segregation within urban spaces, particularly in cities with high internal mobility among immigrant groups. The study employs a local concentration statistic derived from segregation curves to measure the degree of segregation for different immigration groups in Verona, Italy. By analyzing individual characteristics, housing features, and local amenities, the research demonstrates that these factors are complementary causes of observed racial concentration patterns. This finding challenges simplistic models by highlighting the complex interplay between market attributes and individual traits in shaping urban segregation.
