Liebowitz, David D.; Page, Lindsay C. – American Educational Research Journal, 2014
We examine whether the legal decision to grant unitary status to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district, which led to the end of race-conscious student assignment policies, increased the probability that families with children enrolled in the district would move to neighborhoods with a greater proportion of student residents of the same race as…

This study examines time with children among women who remain childless in young to middle adulthood. The authors identify biologically childless women aged 25 to 44 years in the June 2004-2008 Current Population Survey, and use their subsequent time use diaries in the 2004-2009 American Time Use Survey to measure their time with children. The…

de Groot, Carola; Daalhuizen, Femke B. C.; van Dam, Frank; Mulder, Clara H. – Journal of Rural Studies, 2012
One of the most pressing questions in the rural gentrification literature is whether rural residents face difficulties in finding a home within their locality due to the influx of more wealthy newcomers. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which intended local movers and intended non-local movers have realised their rural residential…

Goldsmith, Pat Rubio – Teachers College Record, 2010
Background: Despite a powerful civil rights movement and legislation barring discrimination in housing markets, residential neighborhoods remain racially segregated. Purpose: This study examines the extent to which neighborhoods' racial composition is inherited across generations and the extent to which high schools' and colleges' racial…

Harrington, Charlene; Kang, Taewoon; Chang, Jamie – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2009
This study examined need, predisposing, market, and regional factors that predicted the likelihood of individuals with developmental disabilities living in state developmental centers (DCs) compared with living at home, in community care, or in intermediate care (ICFs) and other facilities. Secondary data analysis using logistic regression models…

Dupere, Veronique; Lacourse, Eric; Willms, J. Douglas; Vitaro, Frank; Tremblay, Richard E. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2007
Because youth gangs tend to cluster in disadvantaged neighborhoods, adolescents living in such neighborhoods are more likely to encounter opportunities to join youth gangs. However, in the face of these opportunities, not all adolescents respond in the same manner. Those with preexisting psychopathic tendencies might be especially likely to join.…

Goodman, John L., Jr.; Streitwieser, Mary L. – Urban Affairs Quarterly, 1983
Frey's analysis of White city-to-suburbs movement was replicated using 1974-76 data on Black outmovement. Results indicated that low outmovement by Blacks (attributed to actual or anticipated racial discrimination against them) better explained the higher rates of outmovement by Whites than did Black-White socioeconomic differences or White…

Bollens, Scott A. – Urban Affairs Quarterly, 1986
Metropolitan development is not simply a result of ecological factors. Governmental organization affects the incentives of localities and helps determine patterns of growth. This study updates previous studies on factors influencing residential area income inequality. Modification of the variables in the ecological explanation will increase…

Hayward, Lynda M. – Canadian Journal on Aging, 2004
There are numerous ways to better integrate the elderly into communities, many of which are contingent upon whether they will remain in their pre-retirement homes or make a move. Using a life course perspective, this paper establishes that residential history, social and family relations, socio-economic status, and health trajectories measured at…

Scott, Richard B. – Urban Affairs Quarterly, 1983
Data from the 1970 census indicated that Blacks in low percentage Black neighborhoods had higher incomes, a greater probability of working wives, and higher educational levels than those in high percentage Black neighborhoods. Discriminant analysis suggested that social psychological factors may mediate demographic factors in Blacks' decisions to…

Galster, George C.; Keeney, W. Mark – Urban Affairs Quarterly, 1988
A cross-sectional simultaneous equation model is specified whereby metropolitan-wide levels of racial residential segregation, housing discrimination, interracial occupational dissimilarities, and Black/White mean incomes are endogenous. Results support the hypothesis of mutually causal interrelationships among these phenomena. Results of policy…

Polednak, Anthony P. – American Journal of Public Health, 1991
Black-white differences in infant mortality rate are examined for 38 large metropolitan statistical areas for 1982 through 1986. The most important difference predictor was a "segregation index" (residential dissimilarity) apparently independent of variation in median family income and poverty prevalence but possibly reflecting…
