My research uses demographic methods to better understand how U.S. neighborhoods and metropolitan areas have endured as sites of racial and economic inequality. My main area of study focuses on residential segregation and the mechanisms that facilitate or prevent the formation of racially diverse and integrated neighborhoods. Some of this work has focused prominently on the phenomenon of “white flight”, while others have focused on the corresponding issue of where mobile White households choose to settle (and how they manage to avoid meaningful co-residence with Black and Brown residents amid this process). I also research trends in Asian American assimilation. Some of this work takes a particular interest in the rise of Asian “ethnoburbs”, to better understand how race and class intersect in different but familiar ways to reproduce the “perpetually foreign” archetype that surrounds Asian Americans and their communities. Uniting all of his work is a critical awareness of the powerful ways data can shape public and policy perceptions of racial progress.
