Results highlight developmental changes and the various activity spaces they engage with, examining how the ethnic-racial composition of these spaces, both inside and outside their neighborhood, relates to their sense of belonging and ERI. The findings provide insight into demographic changes in the suburban Midwest, how Latinx youth navigate and challenge whiteness, and the inclusive activity spaces they use, offering a lens for promoting inclusive practices in suburban schools and communities.
