Neighborhoods in Los Angeles are becoming more economically-segregated.
That may not come as a big surprise, but a new study from the University of Southern California finds that this rise in income segregation is happening only among families with kids.
With more affluent families moving to neighborhoods with the best-performing schools, kids are growing up in more economically-segregated neighborhoods than their parents did.
Ann Owens, an assistant professor of sociology at USC, and author of the study, joined Take Two to discuss her findings.
Her study is published today in the American Sociological Review.
