TL;DR: In this article, the authors derive and evaluate measures of multigroup segregation, such as the disproportionality in group proportions across organizational units, the strength of association between nominal variables indexing group and organizational unit membership, the ratio of between-unit diversity to total diversity, and the weighted average of two-group segregation indices.

The Measurement of Spatial Segregation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial relationships among the geographic parcels were incorporated into the dissimilarity index and its competitors, and the proposed proximity statistic is compared with other indices and is found to be somewhat successful in distinguishing between single-cluster and multiplecluster residential settlement patterns.
