Statistics of Racial Segregation: Measures, Evidence and Policy

Ludi Simpson

Centre for Census and Survey Research, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK, Ludi.Simpsore{at}man.ac.uk

Subsequent to riots in UK northern cities, claims of self-segregation and polarised communities are examined with data unique to the city of Bradford and first results from the UK population census. Statistics relating to race often reinforce misleading stereotypes that are unhelpful to the development of appropriate social policy. Previous studies of indices of segregation are shown to be inadequate through lack of consideration of change over time and the confounding of population change with migration. The separation of natural change and migration supports survey evidence that dispersal of South Asian populations has taken place at the same time as absolute and relative growth. Social policy will do well to take on board these demographic facts in a positive inclusive approach to all residents in all areas.
