This article foregrounds housing in the study of residential segregation. The spatial configuration of housing determines the housing opportunities in each neighborhood, the backdrop against which households' resources, preferences, and constraints play out. I use census and American Community Survey data to provide the first evidence of the extent of housing segregation by type and by cost at multiple geographic scales in large metropolitan areas in the United States from 1990 to 2014. Segregation between single- and multifamily homes and renter- and owner-occupied homes increased in most metropolitan areas, whereas segregation by cost declined. Housing segregation varies among metropolitan areas, across geographic scales, and over time, with consequences for income segregation. Income segregation is markedly higher when and where housing segregation is greater. As long as housing opportunities remain segregated, residential segregation will change little, with urgent implications for urban and housing policy makers.

建筑不平等：住房隔离和收入隔离

本文在住宅隔离研究中着重介绍住房。住房的空间配置决定了每个社区的住房机会，以及家庭资源，偏好和制约因素发挥作用的背景。我使用人口普查和美国社区调查数据提供了1990年至2014年美国大都市地区按地理区域和类型以及按成本划分的房屋隔离程度的第一个证据。单房和多户住宅与房客之间的隔离-在大多数大都市地区，自有房屋的数量有所增加，而按成本划分的房屋则有所减少。不同城市地区，不同地理区域以及不同时间的住房隔离情况不同，对收入隔离产生影响。当住房隔离较大的地区和地区时，收入隔离显着较高。只要住房机会保持隔离，住房隔离将几乎不变，这对城市和住房政策制定者具有紧迫的影响。
