Poverty is frequently conceptualized as an attribute of either people or places. Yet residential movement of poor people can redistribute poverty across places, affecting and reshaping the spatial concentration of economic disadvantage. In this article, we utilize 1995 to 2000 county-to-county migration data from the 2000 United States decennial…

All the time the long economic growth period of 1992-2008 prevailed in Finland, the economic landscape was changing constantly and markedly. We analyse in this article how net migration plagued certain less competitive, mainly rural push-lose municipalities, and boosted in-migration to the pull-win municipalities in metropolitan environments…

Rural gentrification, which is linked in particular to the migration and permanent settlement in the countryside of middle-class or affluent urbanites, is increasingly affecting contemporary rural communities.

Indigenous academic outcomes are in many ways negotiated at the interface between student spatialities--including their residential patterns and choices--and the mainstream school system. The current model of education delivery rewards regular attendance at well resourced schools. Conversely, sporadic interactions with under-resourced schools…

Compares characteristics of recent immigrant arrivals in the United States using two measures from the U.S. Census, the "came-to-stay" question and the migrant question. Results suggest that immigration researchers should consider the idea of arrival carefully to distinguish between newcomers and the resident foreign born. (SLD)

Examined the influence of birth place on the internal migration and spatial redistribution patterns of foreign-born and native-born populations in the United States for 1975 to 1980 and 1985 to 1990. Differing patterns and networks established by immigrant cohorts have resulted in higher concentrations of the foreign-born compared to the…

Institutions such as the church and the family increased solidarity, cohesiveness, and adaptation as Blacks immigrated to Pearl City. (VM)

Examines the importance of place of birth on the internal migration and spatial redistribution patterns of the foreign-born population in the United States for 1965-70 and 1975-80, relying mainly on the Public Use Microdata sample. Age patterns of migration are also analyzed for different groups. (SLD)

Investigates the racial and ethnic composition of neighborhoods in the Greater New York metropolitan area in the 1970-90 period, when the region was a major receiving ground for immigrant groups. Increasing racial and ethnic composition of some neighborhoods is counterbalanced by greater numbers of all-minority neighborhoods. (SLD)

Displacement has a long history and its effects are well known. In order to combat the problem, we must reject the use of housing as a commodity to maximize profits and concentrate on rights to a decent place to live, in the area of one's choosing, at an affordable cost. (Author/EB)

Presents a geographical analysis of African American migration estimates compiled by the Census Bureau for the 1980-85 period. Argues that structural changes in employment opportunities and the housing affordability crisis in some of the nation's largest metropolitan areas are the dominant forces influencing current African American population…

Analysis of the 1970 Neighborhood Characteristics Public Use Microdata Sample indicates that recent (1965-70) southern Black migrants to the North resided in the "best" neighborhoods (less poverty, segregation, and family instability), while earlier Black migrants lived in the worst neighborhoods. Recent migrants also received the…

Analyzes census tract data to assess residential mobility trends. Net immigration of professionals is found to be more likely in tracts with high proportions of retired households and, especially in tracts close to the cities' central business districts, professional immigration is associated with outmigration of retired households.
