Poverty in the family: Race, siblings, and socioeconomic heterogeneity
Article Abstract:
The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth is used to characterize siblings of middle class and poor African-Americans and whites, testing for racial differences in the probability of having a sibling on the other side of the socioeconomic divide. The results have shown that African-Americans are less likely than whites to have siblings that cross important social class lines in ways that are beneficial and the racial differences in the composition of kin networks might indicate another dimension of racial stratification.

Class differences in African American residential patterns in US metropolitan areas: 1990-2000
Article Abstract:
The changing patterns of residential segregation between African Americans and non-Hispanic Whites of different income, occupational, and educational levels during the period between 1990-2000 are studied. Results suggest that the segregation between higher and lower-socioeconomic status (SES) African Americans decreased in the 1990s, which indicates that the disadvantaged African Americans are no longer becoming isolated from other African Americans.

Residential segregation and minority home ownership
Article Abstract:
This article examines home ownership of pre-retirement African Americans, Hispanics, and whites in relation to residential segregation. The author argues African Americans and Hispanics face housing inequalities due to racial segregation which undermines home ownership and upward mobility, maintaining the more segregated a city the less minority home ownership.
