To address injustices that privilege whiter neighborhoods, many advocate for residential integration. The developmental consequences of greater exposure to whiteness associated with integration, however, are unclear. Research examining BIPOC adolescent development within the context of intraindividual changes in neighborhood white concentration—the changes that take place if an adolescent moves to a whiter neighborhood or if their neighborhood becomes whiter—is needed. We examined trajectories of internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a longitudinal sample of U.S. Mexican adolescents (N = 749; 48.9% girls; 70.2% born in the United States). When adolescents experienced an uptick in neighborhood white concentration, they experienced a corresponding uptick in externalizing symptoms. We discuss the impacts of navigating whiter neighborhoods for U.S. Mexican adolescent well-being.

美国墨西哥裔青少年在社区白人集中背景下的幸福感

为了解决赋予白人社区特权的不公正现象，许多人提倡住宅融合。然而，与融合相关的更多接触白度的发展后果尚不清楚。需要研究在社区白人浓度的个体内部变化（如果青少年搬到更白的社区或他们的社区变得更白时发生的变化）的背景下检查 BIPOC 青少年的发展。我们检查了美国墨西哥青少年纵向样本中内化和外化症状的轨迹（N = 749; 48.9% 的女孩；70.2% 出生在美国）。当青少年的邻里白人浓度增加时，他们的外化症状也相应增加。我们讨论了在白人社区中导航对美国墨西哥青少年福祉的影响。
