| Sumario: | A study was conducted to investigate 1990 residential segregation levels and 1980-90 changes in segregation for Latinos, Asians, and blacks in U.S. metropolitan areas and to assess the effect of emerging multiethnic metropolitan area contexts for these segregation patterns. The results revealed that although black segregation levels were still well above those for Latinos and Asians, there was some evidence of a trend toward convergence over the decade. Black segregation levels were lower and were more likely to decrease in multiethnic metropolitan areas and when other minority groups grew quicker than blacks. In addition, Latino segregation was more likely to decline in such areas, and decreases in both Latino and Asian segregation were greater when other minority groups were expanding.
