Abstract
This paper addresses the applicability of a socioeconomic model for explaining the residential segregation of Mexican Americans in the urban Southwest. Results indicate that group differences on housing measures reflecting socioeconomic status account for only a small proportion of Black-Anglo or Mexican American-Black segregation across cities. While a larger proportion of Mexican American-Anglo segregation is accounted for by socioeconomic differentials, other analyses fail to support a purely socioeconomic interpretation of Mexican American residential segregation.
