Frey, William H. – 1977
This paper uses an analytic migration framework to assess the aggregate impact of selected community level factors on white population losses in central cities of large metropolitan areas. This framework describes analytically distinct components of local and long distance migration streams which contribute directly to central city population…

Roseman, Curtis C.; McHugh, Kevin E. – 1981
This paper reports on a demographic study that focuses on the patterns of migration to and from specific metropolitan areas which contribute to nonmetropolitan growth and decline. For background, the paper examines some general properties of the United States migration system. Then the concept of metropolitan areas as redistributors of population…

Marshall, Harvey; Lewis, Bonnie L. – Journal of Urban Affairs, 1982
Migration data suggest an evolutionary process in which central cities attract high status migrants when cities are relatively small, attract migrants less as they grow, and then again become attractive. Large northern cities may currently be in the middle stage. (Author/MJL)

Frey, William H. – 1977
The cumulative adverse impact of residential white flight from large central cities on the residual population has led policy makers to be wary of instituting programs which will further exacerbate the process. Recent policy debates have evolved over the question of whether white city-to-suburb movement is affected more significantly by…

Nelson, Kathryn P. – 1979
This paper discusses the extent and significance of black suburbanization from the late 1950s to the mid-l970s in 19 of the nation's largest metropolitan areas (SMSAs). The basic question addressed is whether blacks are moving more rapidly to suburban areas in the 1970s than in previous decades. A second focus is on the socioeconomic…

Fielding, Elaine L. – 1990
The 1980 United States Census showed a marked acceleration in the suburbanization of blacks during the 1970s. This study analyzes statistical data from the 1985 American Housing Survey (AHS) National and Metropolitan Files to determine if that pattern of acceleration continued in the 1980s. These sets of data also permitted racial and…

Vaughan, Roger J.; Vogel, Mary E. – 1979
This analysis of Federal impacts on the urban residential sector focuses on: (1) the influence of Federal programs and policies on intermetropolitan population movements (migration from the North to the sunbelt); and (2) program and policy influences on the process of suburbanization (the flight of the affluent from central cities). Considered are…

Frey, William H. – 1978
Increased migration to the sunbelt and the metropolitan-nonmetropolitan "turnaround" represent departures from longstanding redistribution trends. Although these patterns have been examined from a number of perspectives, their consequences for individiual metropolitan areas have not been brought to light. In the present study, stream-disaggregated…

Johnson, James H., Jr. – Urban League Review, 1990
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…

Using data provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census and several Maryland state offices, this report examines Prince George's County in terms of age distribution, migration, and racial composition, and discusses the implications of an older, and increasingly minority county population for Prince George's Community College (PGCC). Following…

Sly, David; Pol, Louis – 1976
In this paper two tests of the hypothesis that school desegregation leads to white flight are offered. In the first, test data are presented which allow an examination of the number of whites moving from central cities to metropolitan areas for the periods of 1955-1960 and 1965-1970. In the second test, rates of white migration from central city…

Frey, William H. – 1977
This paper investigates the recent pace of metropolitan-wide integration as it is related to the demographic processes of residential mobility and migration. It also examines the prospects for future changes in this pace. These changes could create a substantial "opening" of the suburbs for blacks. The findings of the study suggest that…

Tucker, Jack; Lee, Everett S. – 1973
Between 1960 and 1970, the black population of the southern United States increased only four percent by comparison with a national increase in black population of twenty percent. Considering the many factors involved in population redistribution, this report compares southern and overall national trends in black population and analyzes the…

Logan, John R.; Schneider, Mark – American Journal of Sociology, 1984
Black migration to American suburbs accelerated from 1970-80, increasing the proportion of Blacks in suburbs throughout the United States. In the North Blacks moved disproportionately into communities with high Black concentrations, while in the South, many Black suburbs experienced an influx of white residents. (Author/IS)
