This paper provides a new method for decomposing segregation indices depending on two distinct sets of unities. This method is applied to analyse how restrictive zoning and parental school choices impact social diversity in French middle schools. Using an exhaustive geolocalized dataset on three urban areas, segregation indices at the school level are decomposed into contributions of residential segregation and of circumvention.
