Ethnic enclaves can be seen as both beneficial and problematic. On one hand, they provide a sense of community, cultural preservation, and support for immigrants. On the other hand, they may contribute to social segregation, limit economic mobility, and hinder integration into the broader society. The impact of ethnic enclaves often depends on the context and dynamics of the specific community in question.

Massey's spatial assimilation thesis posits that ethnic enclaves can initially provide immigrants with social and economic support, but over time, they may hinder full integration into the broader society. While these enclaves offer a sense of community and cultural preservation, they can also limit access to resources and opportunities that facilitate upward mobility. Ultimately, as immigrants assimilate and achieve better socioeconomic status, they tend to move out of these enclaves, leading to greater spatial dispersion and integration into mainstream society.
