CAUSES OF LATINO/ANGLO SEGREGATION IN 2000: DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES

Demographic data are available for population, population growth, suburbanization, and growth in suburbanization and immigration. This analysis will examine seven (7) demographic variables from the 2000 Census and six (6) demographic variables measuring changes from the 1990 to 2000 Census:

Number of Persons in 2000 (NUMBER)

Percent of Persons in 2000 (PERCENT)

Number of Persons Suburbanized in 2000 (SUBURBAN NUMBER)

Percent of Persons Suburbanized in 2000 (SUBURBAN PERCENTAGE)

Number of Persons Foreign Born in 2000 (FOREIGN BORN NUMBER)

Percent of Persons Foreign Born in 2000 (FOREIGN BORN PERCENTAGE)

Ratio of Race/Ethnic Group Suburbanization to Anglo Suburbanization in 2000 (SUBURBAN AD)

Change in the Number of Persons 1990–2000 (NUMBER CHANGE)

Percentage Growth of Persons 1990–2000 (PERCENTAGE CHANGE)

Percentage of Total Population Growth Attributed to a Race/Ethnic Group 1990–2000 (TOTAL PERCENTAGE CHANGE)

Change in Number of Race/Ethnic Group Suburbanized 1990–2000 (SUBURBAN NUMBER CHANGE)

Percentage Point Change of Persons Suburbanized 1990–2000 (SUBURBAN PERCENTAGE POINT)

Increase in Latino-Anglo Suburbanization Ratio 1990–2000 (SUBURBAN AD CHANGE)

A regression model was created using nine demographic variables of the thirteen variables. The four variables NUMBER CHANGE, SUBURBAN NUMBER, FOREIGN BORN NUMBER, and SUBURBAN NUMBER CHANGE were eliminated because they were co-linear (see explanation of co-linearity in the Methodology section). The regression model shows that demographic variables are highly predictive of residential segregation of Latinos in 2000. Seven of the nine demographic variables showed statistically significant relationship with Latino segregation rates in 2000:
