Abstract

Housing discrimination has long been thought to contribute to the persistence of racial segregation, yet evidence indicates that many forms of discrimination have waned over time. We argue that past work has not fully considered the role of racial steering in maintaining segregation. To explore patterns of steering, we leverage experimental audit data from the 2012 Housing Discrimination Study to examine how neighborhoods of homes shown by real estate agents to auditors change dynamically throughout the search process and to assess the conditions under which steering is most likely. As with past research, we find no evidence of steering in Asian-White or Hispanic-White audits. However, we find consistent evidence that agents steer Black homeseekers away from White neighborhoods and toward Black ones, particularly female homeseekers and those with children. We also find that agents steer relatively early in the search process and especially when searches begin in racially-homogeneous neighborhoods.

美国房地产市场的种族导向:何时,何地,发生在谁身上?
长期以来,住房歧视一直被认为是导致种族隔离持续存在的原因之一,但有证据表明,随着时间的推移,许多形式的歧视已经减弱。我们认为,过去的工作没有充分考虑种族导向在维持种族隔离中的作用。为了探索转向模式,我们利用2012年住房歧视研究的实验审计数据来研究房地产经纪人向审计员展示的房屋社区在整个搜索过程中如何动态变化,并评估最有可能发生转向的条件。与过去的研究一样,我们在亚裔白人或西班牙裔白人审计中没有发现指导的证据。然而,我们发现一致的证据表明,经纪人引导黑人无家可归者远离白人社区,转向黑人社区,尤其是女性无家可归者和有孩子的人。我们还发现,代理在搜索过程中相对较早地转向,特别是当搜索开始于种族同质的社区时。
