Abstract: The article examines the extent to which high-status racial and ethnic persons are segregated from their less-educated counterparts, and the extent to which they are isolated in neighborhoods among other high-status persons. Many studies have examined the causes and consequences of racial segregation and have concluded that segregation is influenced by contextual factors specific to metro areas, racial preferences displayed by group members, and discrimination in the housing and lending markets. The growth in the concentration of black poverty during the 1970s was primarily due to the interaction of rising poverty among blacks and racial segregation, and not rising levels of class segregation among blacks. As a general phenomenon, class segregation means that higher-status persons likely live in more desirable areas away from their lower-status counterparts, which has implications for neighborhood inequality across classes. A geography of inequality became pronounced during the 1970s and 1980s, when the rich isolated themselves into neighborhoods of privilege, thus leaving behind poor families in areas of growing despair.
