Tracking sixty years of income diversity within neighborhoods: The case of Chicago, 1950-2010
Abstract Lack of economic integration at the neighborhood scale is viewed as a significant problem given its association with aggregated advantage (concentrated wealth) or disadvantage (concentrated poverty). Scholarship on neighborhood-level social make-up has most often focused on the problem of racial and economic segregation, but we believe there are important insights and lessons to be drawn from analyzing the spatial, socio-economic and temporal patterns of neighborhoods that are income-diverse. How should income diverse neighborhoods be defined and measured, and what factors are associated with them in different time periods? We explore these characterizations using tract-level census data for Chicago covering three census years: 1950, 1980, and 2010. Very few tracts were persistently diverse in all time periods, and the profile of income diverse tracts changed with each decade. In 1950, diverse tracts were dense, White, and had lower median income than non-diverse tracts. Thirty years later, diverse tracts were gentrified, but they were not different racially, nor in built form, from non-diverse tracts. By 2010, diverse tracts were back to having lower median income, but unlike in 1950, they now had fewer Whites, fewer Blacks, and far more Hispanics than non-diverse tracts.
Highlights We fill a gap in the literature on income diversity within neighborhoods, tracked over time. We find that between 1950 and 2010 there was a gradual moving out of diverse tracts away from the downtown. In 1950, the most income-diverse tracts were White with a lot of multi-unit buildings. In 2010, the most income-diverse tracts were Hispanic with a lot of single-family housing. Consistently, income-diverse diverse tracts have mixed housing types, not just single-family detached dwellings.
