A NOTE ON NEIGHBORHOOD SIZE AND THE MEASUREMENT OF SEGREGATION INDICES*
研究了邻里规模对隔离指数有效性的影响，通过巴尔的摩1970和1980年种族隔离数据发现，不同聚合水平下隔离指数值和趋势基本不变。
ABSTRACT This note examines neighborhood segregation measures with respect to size and validity. Conventional measures, while related to within‐neighborhood homogeneity, are not necessarily related to neighborhood size. An empirical test examines racial segregation for Baltimore in 1970 and 1980 using both census tract and specially formulated neighborhood aggregates. For both years, and for all measures of segregation, the values and trends are essentially unchanged by the level of aggregation.
