This study develops a theoretical framework for the study of the tendency for immigrant
groups to be geographically concentrated. Testing the model for Australia shows that the
extent of geographic concentration of immigrant groups is negatively related to age at
migration, duration of residence in Australia and the proportion of the birthplace group that is
fluent in English. The extent of geographic concentration is also affected by the availability of
ethnic media and the distance between the country of origin and the place of residence in
Australia.
