Population dynamics in ethnically diverse towns: The long-term implications of immigration
Simpson, L., Gavalas, V. and Finney, N., CCSR Working Paper 2006-04, Cathie Marsh Centre for Census and Survey Research, University of Manchester, March 2006
This paper examines the population, housing and social changes in Oldham and Rochdale using a time series of census data.  The results show how natural growth generates dispersal of immigrant populations to new clusters, charting the changing nature of cities, and challenging the interpretation of clustering as a negative phenomenon by instead focusing on indicators of demographic change, demand for housing and services, and social equality.
