We argue that anti-density zoning increases black residential segregation in U.S. metropolitan areas by reducing the quantity of affordable housing in white jurisdictions. Drawing on census data and local regulation indicators compiled by Pendall, we estimate a series of regression models to measure the effect of maximum density zoning on black segregation. Results estimated using ordinary least squares indicate a strong and significant cross-sectional relationship between low-density zoning and racial segregation, even after controlling for other zoning policies and a variety of metropolitan characteristics, a relationship that persists under two-stage least squares estimation. Both estimation strategies also suggest that anti-density zoning inhibits desegregation over time.
我们认为,反密度分区通过减少白人管辖区内经济适用房的数量,加剧了美国大都市地区黑人的居住隔离。利用人口普查数据和彭德尔编制的地方法规指标,我们估计了一系列回归模型,以衡量最大密度分区对黑人隔离的影响。使用普通最小二乘法估计的结果表明,即使在控制了其他分区政策和各种大都市特征之后,低密度分区与种族隔离之间仍存在强烈且显著的横截面关系,这种关系在两阶段最小二乘法估计下依然存在。两种估计策略还表明,随着时间的推移,反密度分区会抑制种族融合。
