In this research, the question of whether ethnic identification is associated with social cohesionrnamong ethnically diverse neighborhoods in Yeka Ayat 2, Condominium, Addis Ababa wasrnassessed. To address the research questions of the study adequately, a quantitative method wasrnapplied. The data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and 261 participantsrnsampled by simple random sampling. The analysis of the data involved descriptive statistics,rnPearson correlation, linear regression, and multivariate analysis tests. The survey result showsrnthat ethnic identification is less negatively related to neighborhood social cohesion, Pearsonrncorrelation -.21, p < .01. However, the linear regression shows that 4.4% of the variance inrnneighborhood social cohesion is predicted from the level of ethnic identification. Since therncoefficient determination is significant, overall, the predictor variable is accounted for arnsignificant amount of variance in neighborhood social cohesion. Moreover, the multilevelrnregression analysis shows that gender and ethnicity are unrelated to neighborly relation.rnWhereas difference in levels of education is significantly associated with neighborhood socialrncohesion, which is 13.5 % of the effect size of the variability in social cohesion is accounted forrnby differences in levels of education. Therefore, in this paper, I argue that ethnic identity andrndifference in the levels of education reduces the levels of cohesiveness among newly formedrnneighborhood residents at Yeka Ayat 2 Condominium
