Comparing and contrasting the application and use of spatial statistics is valuable in research because it allows for more precise identification of spatial patterns, and highlights results that may be hidden when only using a single method. This study serves as a demonstration on how the use of multiple LISA statistics can benefit inequality related research. Analyzing changes in county level poverty in the rural United States from 1990 to 2015 serves as a tool to demonstrate these techniques and this study examined how the geographic distribution of poverty has changed, and well as if there is evidence of diffusion effects. The three featured techniques utilized Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) statistics. The techniques are Bivariate LISA, LISA Cluster Transitions, and LISA Diffusion Transitions, with the last technique specifically designed for this study. Each technique varies in how it reports the changes in the spatial structure of poverty. Bivariate LISA and LISA Cluster Transitions are complementary to each other—with the former technique providing a single global statistic while the latter is more easily interpretable. Diffusion Transitions show how the highest and lowest values of a variable may be spreading over time. The study also produces new findings regarding rural poverty, with poverty in Mountain-West and rural Sun Belt counties on the rise. Analysis shows a diffusion effect for poverty in Southeastern metropolitan fringe counties.","PeriodicalId":43022,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Demography","volume":"37 3 1","pages":"167-193"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2019-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140884780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, tracts are insensitive to variation in the geographic scale of the phenomenon under investigation and to proximity among a focal tract's residents and those in nearby territory. Tracts may also align poorly with residents' perceptions of their own neighborhood and with the spatial reach of their daily activities. To address these limitations, we propose that changes in racial structure (i.e., in overall diversity and group-specific proportions) be examined within multiple egocentric neighborhoods, a series of nested local environments surrounding each individual that approximate meaningful domains of experience. Our egocentric approach applies GIS procedures to census block data, using race-specific population densities to redistribute block counts of whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians across 50-meter by 50-meter cells. For each cell, we then compute the proximity-adjusted racial composition of four different-sized local environments based on the weighted average racial group counts in adjacent cells. The value of this approach is illustrated with 1990-2000 data from a previous study of 40 large metropolitan areas. We document exposure to increasing neighborhood racial diversity during the decade, although the magnitude of this increase in diversity-and of shifts in the particular races to which one is exposed-differs by local environment size and racial group membership. Changes in diversity exposure at the neighborhood level also depend on how diverse the metro area as a whole has become.</p>","PeriodicalId":43022,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Demography","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s40980-018-0044-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37352635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
