Measuring Residential Segregation: An Application of Trend Surface Analysis.

Spriggs, William

Phylon, v45 n4 p249-63 Dec 1984

Presents a measure of racial residential segregation which conforms to the traditional attributes of segregation indices, but includes sensitivity to the spatial patterns of White and non-White residence in a city. Reviews earlier measures, describes the new one, and applies it to racial housing patterns in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1890. (KH)
