Existing data on the role of immigration on residential segregation trends in the US suggest that foreign-born Hispanics, Asians and blacks often have higher rates of segregation than do native-born individuals from these groups. Segregation of immigrants is associated with their low-income status, language barriers, and support networks in these enclaves. Research on assimilation shows that while new immigrants settle in homogenous ethnic communities, segregation of immigrants declines as they gain socioeconomic status and move away from these communities, integrating with the native-born.
A recent study has been published about two U.S cities containing large Hispanic population and their origins. Los Angeles which has a larger native born population, and San Diego, which is formed mostly of immigrants that have been foreign-born, have been listed as the top two.
Which of the two cities will more than likely have a lower rate of segregation among the Hispanic community?
