Previous research has established that racial/ethnic residential inequalities in the United States are due to a combination of resource disadvantage and discrimination. This article builds upon past work by using a new dependent variable ( census tract median housing value), examining the effects of wealth, and including interactions between race/ethnicity and resources. The authors find that the Black-White gap in neighborhood quality is explained by the combination of Blacks' relative disadvantage in resources and the smaller benefits they gain from having those resources. In contrast, Latinos who are not recent immigrants are similar to Whites in both neighborhood quality and their ability to translate resources into residential quality.
