| Short Answer |
There is no general evidence of a ”white flight” phenomenon |
| Qualitative Info |
There is no general evidence of a ”white flight” phenomenon; however, in some residence areas within public housing there is a significant ly small number of ethnic Danes. Furthermore, only 20 % of the general population live in public housing, whereas 60 % of ethnic minorities live in public housing. Even if the numbers of ethnic Danes and ethnic minorities are unequally distributed, it is hardly sufficient evidence to say that a “white flight” is taken place as many other factors may have influence on where people live. |
