Ann Owens: The Changing Relationship between School and Residential Segregation

Ann Owens The Changing Relationship between School and Residential Segregation University of California, Los Angeles March 4, 2026 Description: Residential and school segregation are key indicators of unequal opportunity and key drivers of unequal outcomes in children’s lives. Reducing segregation, then, is a promising approach for reducing racial/ethnic and economic inequality among children on a range of outcomes. A comprehensive approach to reducing segregation must account for the link between segregation in neighborhoods and segregation in schools. Historically, school segregation was seen as “downstream” of residential segregation—schools were segregated because the neighborhoods zoned to them were segregated. More recently, scholars have framed the relationship between residential and school segregation as cyclical and bidirectional, and changing demographic patterns and school choice regimes have complicated this relationship. This talk examines how closely coupled school and residential segregation are in the US, how this has changed over time, and the demographic, geographic, and policy conditions that influence the extent of their correspondence.
