In this article, Are Skeie Hermansen and co-authors study whether neighborhood equalization contributes to intergenerational persistence in neighborhood contexts among descendants of immigrants in Norway. Using administrative data they find that immigrant descendants as adults often remain in neighborhood contexts that resemble their childhood neighborhoods. For both economic and ethnic dimensions of neighborhood attainment, childhood neighborhood context is the factor that matters most in accounting for immigrant-native gaps. Their findings point to a pattern of "uneven assimilation" where spatial assimilation is slow despite rapid socioeconomic progress.
