Integrating or segregating? Gentrification, the changing city-suburb divide, and black exceptionalism
Jackelyn Hwang, Elizabeth Roberto, Francine I Stephens, Jacob S Rugh
Full text
Racial residential segregation has been pivotal in maintaining racial inequality following the Civil Rights Era. The transformation of cities by the spread of gentrification in recent decades may have mitigated these longstanding divisions or reproduced them as gentrification reorganizes residential patterns across urban space. However, the extent and nature of this relationship remain in question. We bridge theories of racial capitalism and residential sorting to test the racialized nature of gentrification’s prevalence, and we use a decomposition approach for measuring segregation to examine the relationship between the prevalence of gentrification and changes in segregation between various race-income groups from 1990 to 2019 across US metropolitan areas. We find that the prevalence of gentrification within central cities is associated with decreasing segregation between several groups—including poor Black and nonpoor White households—but also increasing segregation between poor minority and nonpoor White households in the suburbs and between nonpoor Black and White households overall. Altogether, the results highlight the changing spatial structure of segregation and the evolution of residential attainment for nonpoor Black households in the twenty-first century. They suggest that the spread of gentrification may contribute to dismantling longstanding patterns of segregation by race and class but may simultaneously contribute to new patterns of segregation in the suburbs and reinforce Black-White divisions.

Social and Genetic Origins Show Similar Patterns of Stratification in Educational Attainment
Martin Arstad Isungset
Full text
Family background is strongly correlated with educational attainment, and this correlation can stem from genetics, family environments, or their interplay. Using data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study linked to the Medical Birth Registry of Norway and administrative records, the author shows that social and genetic origins display broadly similar levels of stratification. Among those who obtain a master’s or PhD degree, 51 percent have parents from the highest education quartile, and 42 percent have a polygenic index from the highest quartile. Both sources likely drive intergenerational correlations. But the two origins are not independent. Roughly half of the polygenic index’s association with education comes from family environments, not direct genetic effects. Part of the resemblance is therefore the index remeasuring social origin, not genes and environment arriving at the same place.
