Development and Research. The opinions expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department. The past decades have witnessed increasing concern over the family ills engendered by neighborhoods inhabited overwhelmingly by families with limited resources. This study focuses on a different sort of residential context—neighborhoods with substantial income mixing—and the extent to which very low-income (VLI) families—those earning less than 50 percent of the area median income (AMI)—live in them. The study’s primary units of analysis are the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the United States, according to the 2000 Census, and the secondary units of analysis are census tracts. The study specifies six mutually exclusive income groups based on the ratios relative to AMI, as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It also specifies four groups of neighborhoods according to their diversity of the six income groups, as measured by an entropy index. The descriptive results show that in 2000 (1) most neighborhoods had high diversity, although a decline is apparent in the overall income

Immigrants and their residential outcomes are of great interest to urban researchers and policymakers. The literature, however, provides little knowledge about the residential status of immigrants with publicly subsidized housing assistance. In this article, we draw on three streams of literature—assimilation, neighborhood effects, and housing policy—to investigate the residential choices and outcomes (neighborhood conditions) of immigrants who receive housing choice vouchers. We use primary survey data from a sample of voucher households from two local housing authorities in Orange County, California, to investigate housing search behavior, locational choice, and neighborhood conditions. The results of our regression analyses show that immigrants, compared with nonimmigrants, are more likely to receive assistance from friends or family in their housing search and that they tend to live in neighborhoods with relatively higher concentrations of immigrants overall. Immigrant status is not directly associated with worse neighbor hood conditions; however, higher concentrations of immigrants are strongly associated with relatively worse neighborhood conditions. This finding indi-cates an indirect association between immigrant status and neighborhood conditions. We conclude with a discussion of the research and policy implications of these findings.

Despite popular accounts that link public housing demolitions to spatial redistribution of crime, and possible increases in crime, little systematic research has analyzed the neighborhood or city-wide impact of demolitions on crime. In Chicago, which has conducted the largest public housing demolition program in the United States, I find that public housing demolitions are associated with a 20 % to 50 % reduction in violent crime in neighborhoods where the demolitions occurred. I also find evidence of increases in residential construction and home prices in these neighborhoods. Furthermore, homes close to large public housing developments exhibit larger price growth than those located further from public housing, during the period when these developments are being demolished. Finally, using a panel of cities that demolished public housing, I find that public housing demolitions are associated with a drop of about 10 % in a city’s murder rate. I interpret these findings as evidence that while public housing demolitions may push crime into other parts of a city, crime reductions in neighborhoods where public housing is demolished are larger than crime increases elsewhere. ∗Contact:

ii Toronto’s Rivertowne (formerly Don Mount Court) is Canada’s first fully completed experiment with redeveloping post-war public housing developments into newly built mixed-income neighbourhoods (a combination of public housing and private condominiums). Originally built at the end of Toronto’s urban renewal era, Don Mount Court consisted of 232 public housing units until the City’s public housing authority decided to tear the buildings down in 2003. Five years later, former residents, along with newcomers, moved into rows of townhouses under its new name, Rivertowne. Proponents of this project believed this would transform an isolated, stigmatized environment into a thriving and integrated community. This thesis explores redevelopment as a mechanism that has profound and intricate impacts on space, place-identity and social dynamics between residents. Drawing on interviews with residents, I argue that the way proponents envision redevelopment is overly idealistic and overshadows a number of problems produced by the project.
