Little research has examined the residential segregation of blacks, Hispanics, and Asians from whites disaggregated by family structure and the presence of children in metropolitan America. Using data from the 2010 Census and the 2006–2010 American Community Survey, we find that, net of controls, among blacks, single-mother families are significantly more segregated from whites than married couples, regardless of the presence of children. However, these same differences in segregation are not found among Hispanics and Asians. Among those groups, married families with children under 18 are more segregated from whites than married families without children under 18, suggesting that married Hispanics and Asians with children desire closer proximity to their co-ethnics. The results suggest that racial and ethnic segregation by family structure and the presence of children varies by the racial and ethnic group considered and is, therefore, important to understanding overall racial and ethnic segregation in metropolitan America.

很少有研究调查了黑人、西班牙裔和亚洲人与白人的居住隔离，这些隔离按家庭结构和美国大都市儿童的存在情况进行了分类。使用 2010 年人口普查和 2006-2010 年美国社区调查的数据，我们发现，在排除控制后，在黑人中，与已婚夫妇相比，无论是否有孩子，单身母亲家庭与白人的隔离程度明显更高。然而，在西班牙裔和亚洲人之间没有发现这些相同的隔离差异。在这些群体中，与没有 18 岁以下孩子的已婚家庭相比，有 18 岁以下孩子的已婚家庭与白人的隔离程度更高，这表明已婚西班牙裔和有孩子的亚洲人希望与他们的同族人更接近。
