Neighborhood effects research continues to advance sociological understanding of inequality. Here, we consider a complementary but lower profile body of work. Since 2000, scholars have shown increasing interest in neighborhood reputations, socially constructed place identities that reflect the relative position of neighborhoods in the urban status hierarchy. These reputations, which emerge from multiple sources, are correlated most consistently with an area's racial and socioeconomic composition. Evidence suggests that stigmatized neighborhoods and their inhabitants experience a range of negative consequences. Prestigious neighborhood reputations may be aspirational, guiding households' preferences and influencing the residential selection process in a manner that reinforces existing disparities. Although reputations can change, they appear to do so incrementally because of their cumulative nature. A key challenge for future research is to demonstrate that neighborhood reputations are “real” rather than epiphenomenal, having significance beyond the objective characteristics of the places they represent. Resolving this issue will require finer alignment between reputation measurement and conceptualization, and more analysis of the extent of agreement needed among people's neighborhood perceptions for a reputation to exist. Longitudinal data on many neighborhoods, coupled with historical case studies, could illuminate the dynamics of reputations and help us better evaluate their presumed causes and effects.

邻里声誉是城市等级体系中的象征性和分层机制

邻里效应研究继续推动社会对不平等现象的理解。在这里,我们考虑一个互补但低调的工作。自2000年以来,学者们对邻里声誉越来越感兴趣,这是反映邻里在城市地位等级中相对位置的社会建构场所身份。这些声誉源于多种来源,与该地区的种族和社会经济构成最为一致。有证据表明,被污名化的社区及其居民会遭受一系列负面影响。享有盛誉的邻里声誉可能是雄心勃勃的,它会引导住户的偏好并以加剧现有差距的方式影响住户的选择过程。虽然声誉会改变,由于它们的累积性,它们似乎是逐步进行的。未来研究的一个关键挑战是证明邻里的声誉是“真实的”而不是表扬的,其意义超出了其所代表的地方的客观特征。解决这个问题将需要在信誉度量和概念化之间进行更好的协调,并需要对人们的邻里感知之间达成共识的程度进行更多分析。许多社区的纵向数据,再加上历史案例研究,可以阐明声誉的动态,并帮助我们更好地评估其推测的因果关系。未来研究的一个关键挑战是证明邻里的声誉是“真实的”而不是表扬的,其意义超出了其所代表的地方的客观特征。解决此问题将需要在信誉度量和概念化之间进行更好的协调,并需要对人们的邻里感知之间达成共识的程度进行更多的分析。许多社区的纵向数据,再加上历史案例研究,可以阐明声誉的动态,并帮助我们更好地评估其推测的因果关系。未来研究的一个关键挑战是证明邻里的声誉是“真实的”而不是表扬的,其意义超出了其所代表的地方的客观特征。解决这个问题将需要在信誉度量和概念化之间进行更好的协调,并需要对人们的邻里感知之间达成共识的程度进行更多分析。许多社区的纵向数据,再加上历史案例研究,可以阐明声誉的动态,并帮助我们更好地评估其推测的因果关系。并进一步分析人们的邻里之间达成共识所需的共识程度。许多社区的纵向数据,再加上历史案例研究,可以阐明声誉的动态,并帮助我们更好地评估其推测的因果关系。并进一步分析人们的邻里之间达成共识所需的共识程度。许多社区的纵向数据,再加上历史案例研究,可以阐明声誉的动态,并帮助我们更好地评估其推测的因果关系。
