Abstrakt: Generational patterns in locational attainment have been understudied in urban sociology and demography despite their importance in contributing to our understanding about racial and ethnic group integration into the segregated housing market that exists in American society. Using generational data from the 2003-2007 Houston Area Study (HAS) merged with Census 2000 data, the present study seeks to build upon the limited research - two studies - that exists on this topic and extend the examination of Hispanic spatial assimilation to the Houston area. Our results reveal a surprising pattern of generational differences consistent more with the tenets of the segmented assimilation model than those of the spatial assimilation model. Essentially a significant decline is observed in the neighborhood outcomes of 2nd generation Hispanics, relative to 1st and 1.5 generation Hispanics, but a significant improvement in neighborhood conditions emerges between 2nd and 3rd plus generations. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
