520 |a This study used data about neighborhoods from the 1990 and 2000 Census and corresponding data on public elementary schools gathered by the National Center for Education Statistics to examine segregation in neighborhoods and schools in a seven-county area around Boston, Massachusetts. Data analysis indicated that black and Hispanic children were highly segregated in the neighborhoods where they lived. They also lived in unequal neighborhoods, as measured by neighborhoods' income levels, poverty rates, unemployment, homeownership, and other indicators. Asian children faced the same disadvantages, although to a much lesser extent. White children almost entirely escaped the City of Boston, and those who remained lived in increasingly advantaged city neighborhoods. Neighborhood segregation was especially high in the City of Boston. The main source of segregation overall was minorities' exclusion from most residential suburbs. School segregation was lower in Boston than in other portions of the region, reflecting the history of desegregation efforts in the city (despite erosion of these gains in the last decade). Black and Hispanic students attended unequal schools, compared to white and Asian students, as measured by the concentration of poor children in their elementary schools. Having a good job and a high income did not bring minority households into equivalent neighborhoods. (SM)
