Abstract: While it has been commonly assumed that racially mixed neighbourhoods in US cities will become increasingly black, the results of this study question the validity of this assumption. In a series of simulations it is shown that in urban areas with no black inmigration the proportion of the black population does not increase in racially mixed neighbourhoods, unlike the case where there is black in migration to the urban area. With reductions in the rate of black inmigration to US cities, this study suggests policy implications which could help reduce the level of racial segregation in residential areas.
