This paper seeks to determine the propensity of racial minorities to live in gated communities. A recent study by Plaut in this journal finds that nonwhites are more likely to live in gated communities than whites for both renters and homeowners. Such a finding would indicate a major change in housing patterns. I replicate and build upon her study by including multiple years of data, disaggregating the nonwhite variable into its important racial components, and then interacting race with specific housing type (multi-family units vs. single family units). I find that her potentially innovative results are statistical artifacts. For homeowners, the results generally indicate that nonwhite individuals are not more likely to own a home in a gated community, especially for single family detached units. At best, they are no more or no less likely than white residents to own a home in a gated community. Minority renters are sometimes more likely to indicate that they live in a gated community, but generally only for multi-family rental units. Differences between African American and Latino gating patterns are also discussed.

重新审视最近关于封闭社区和种族同质性的发现

本文旨在确定少数种族居住在封闭社区中的倾向。Plaut 最近在本杂志上的一项研究发现,对于租房者和房主来说,非白人比白人更有可能住在封闭式社区。这一发现将表明住房模式发生了重大变化。我通过包含多年数据,将非白人变量分解为其重要种族组成部分,然后将种族与特定住房类型(多户单元与单户单元)进行交互,复制并建立在她的研究的基础上。我发现她潜在的创新结果是统计人工制品。对于房主的结果通常表明非白人的个人都没有更有可能在封闭式社区拥有房屋,尤其是对于单户独立单元。充其量,他们在封闭式社区拥有房屋的可能性与白人居民差不多。少数族裔租房者有时更可能表明他们住在封闭式社区,但通常仅适用于多户出租单位。还讨论了非裔美国人和拉丁裔门控模式之间的差异。
