Abstract: The study, with specific hypotheses developed from the literature on ecological perspective and the economic sociology, addresses the locational patterns of small and large ethnic businesses in a multiethnic context. Drawing from a 2001 data set of Chinese businesses collected in Toronto and 2001 Canadian census tract data, our results show that though a considerable proportion of small Chinese businesses are located in coethnic neighborhoods, close to half of them are located outside coethnic neighborhoods. Similar patterns are also found among large Chinese businesses.
