The debate over the role of the forces that create the patterns of residential separation has identified neighborhood preferences as one of the explanatory variables, but although we possess some empirical data on the nature of neighborhood racial preferences, the theoretical contributions have received only limited empirical evaluation. Among the theoretical statements, Schelling's model of the effects of small differences in preferences on residential patterns has provided a basic building block in our understanding of preferences, choices, and patterns. Several recent surveys of residential preferences provide the data with which to evaluate the underpinnings of the Schelling model. The preference/tolerance schedules that are derived from the data have a different functional form from that suggested by Schelling, but confirm the view that stable integrated equilibria are unlikely.
关于造成居住隔离模式的各种力量所起作用的争论，已将邻里偏好确定为解释变量之一。然而，尽管我们掌握了一些关于邻里种族偏好性质的实证数据，但这些理论贡献仅得到了有限的实证评估。在这些理论阐述中，谢林关于偏好上的微小差异对居住模式影响的模型，为我们理解偏好、选择和模式提供了一个基本框架。最近的几项居住偏好调查提供了用于评估谢林模型基础的数据。从这些数据得出的偏好/容忍度表，其函数形式与谢林所提出的不同，但证实了稳定的融合均衡不太可能出现的观点。
