Summary
The goal of this project was to examine racial and ethnic differentiation in U.S. cities in 1880, with a particular emphasis on the relationships between people and places. Using geocoded data from the 1880 Census enabled the measurement of the ethnic composition of one's neighbors at the level of the household and to group proximate households with similar "neighborhoods" into an overall neighborhood. This allowed for an unusual degree of flexibility in constructing spatial measures of segregation and evaluating the relative contribution of race/ethnicity, class, and other factors in segregating people across neighborhoods.
