CHECA OLMOS, Juan Carlos  and  ARJONA GARRIDO, Ángeles. Segregación y condiciones residenciales de los inmigrantes africanos en Almería (España). Migr. Inter [online]. 2006, vol.3, n.3, pp.81-106. ISSN 2594-0279.

In this article the residential situation of the immigrants coming from Africa to the province ofAlmería in Spain is described, analyzing mainly two aspects. Firstly, the residential segregation. Secondly, the characteristics of the lodgings inhabited by the immigrants, taking as reference the indicators of stability, adequacy, habitability and affordability. The results show a high residential segregation and a deficient residential situation, where almost three out of every four African immigrants live in a residence not decent. The main reason that explains this situation is the ethnic discrimination.

Keywords : immigration; segregation; discrimination; Almería; Spain.
