Diverse Housing, Diverse Schooling: How Policy Can Stabilize Racial Demographic Change in Cities and Suburbs

This research report provides a review of social science evidence, highlighting the problem of recurring racial segregation and inequality absent strong, proactive integration policies. The author also reviews the relevant research on housing and school choice to reveal that the problem of resegregation is far more complicated than any tangible, measurable distinctions between schools and neighborhoods across the racial dividing line.
