      abstract = {This paper analyses the location choices of new entrants  to Auckland between 1996 and 2006, to identify a systematic  relationship between residential location choices and  features of local areas such as population density, the  population composition of the area or its neighbourhood,  accessibility to different types of amenities, paying  particular attention to the influence of land prices. For  the analysis, the Auckland Urban Area is divided into  around 9,000 small areas (“meshblocks”). Location choices  are analysed using count data methods applied to microdata  from the Census of Population and Dwellings. The results  emphasise the importance of own-group attraction. Groups of  entrants classified by qualification, income, ethnicity, or  country of birth are all attracted to meshblocks or  neighbourhoods where their group already has a strong  presence. The evidence demonstrates that this sorting  reflects attraction to fellow group members, rather than  being due to group members having common preferences for  local amenities.},
