Abstract

This chapter presents and discusses the results of multilevel logit regression equations examining the effects on poverty of the individual characteristics of Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants in addition to the contextual levelcontextual level characteristics of SPUMAs in the Southwestern United States. These populations have emerged as ones that necessitate a multitude of analyses given their expected growth rates and levels of poverty in the coming decades. The preceding chapters examined the effects of individual levelindividual level characteristics on the log odds of three different types of poverty, and offered quite a bit of insight into the nature of the disadvantages faced by both populations, i.e., Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants. However, little has been done to examine the impact of contextual level characteristics with respect to these groups. Given the fact that Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants maintain high rates of employment and more often reside in dual-parent households, it becomes essential to examine other influences than personal characteristics, which may be imparting significant impacts on poverty.
