This paper examines patterns of Hispanic concentrated poverty in traditional, new, and minor destinations. Using data from 2010 to 2014 from the American Community Survey, we find that without controlling for group characteristics, Hispanics experience a lower level of concentrated poverty in new destinations compared to traditional gateways. Metropolitan level factors explain this difference, including ethnic residential segregation, the Hispanic poverty rate, and the percentage of Hispanics who are foreign born. Overall, this study sheds new light on the Hispanic geographic dispersal in the United States and offers support for the argument that the Hispanic settlement into new destinations is associated with lower levels of concentrated poverty.
本文研究了传统目的地、新目的地和小众目的地中西班牙裔集中贫困的模式。利用2010年至2014年美国社区调查的数据，我们发现，在不考虑群体特征的情况下，与传统门户城市相比，西班牙裔在新目的地的集中贫困水平较低。大都市层面的因素解释了这种差异，包括族裔居住隔离、西班牙裔贫困率以及外国出生的西班牙裔人口比例。总体而言，本研究为西班牙裔在美国的地理分布提供了新的见解，并支持了这样一种观点，即西班牙裔向新目的地的定居与较低水平的集中贫困相关。
