| Abstract: | Recent studies in the United States and other Pacific Rim countries have identified a new form of ethnic minority group clustering
within the residential mosaic—ethnoburbs. These are suburban in location, occupied by relatively high-income, predominantly
Asian, immigrants, and low density in their nature: many migrants move directly to those suburbs rather than the inter-generational
outward migration from central city clusters typical of other migrant streams. Although ethnoburb residents tend to cluster
in particular segments of the built-up area they do not to form large percentages of the population there. As yet, no methodology
has been developed to identify these clusters, as a prelude to identifying their characteristics. This paper offers such a
procedure, based on local statistical analysis. It is applied to six Asian groups in Auckland, New Zealand. |
