African Immigrants in Almería (Spain): Spatial Segregation, Residential Conditions and Housing Segmentation

Summary/Abstract: African immigrants in Almería (Spain): spatial segregation, residential conditions and housing segmentation. In this article, the residential situation of the immigrants coming from Africa to the province of Almería is described, analyzing mainly two aspects. Firstly, the residential segregation starting from the indexes of dissimilarity, isolation and absolute centralization. Secondly, the characteristics of the lodgings inhabited by the immigrants, taking as reference the indicators of stability, adequacy, habitability and affordability. The data were obtained from the Municipal Census and from a survey. The results show high residential segregation and a deficient residential situation, where almost three out of every four African immigrants live in unfit dwellings. The main reason that explains this situation is ethnic discrimination. Sociológia 2007, Vol. 39 (No 6: 535-559)
