The focus is primarily on the settlement pattern of immigrants, but the analysis controls for socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Based on a hedonic conditional autoregressive spatial model formulation, we find that households on average prefer neighbourhoods with a high concentration of natives, many immigrants from Western countries and, at the same time, a diverse, thin representation of neighbours from a wide range of countries. We do not find that immigrants from specific countries or continents have a substantial negative impact on housing prices in a neighbourhood UR - https://doi.org/10.1177/0308518X19861108 ER -
