The objective of this paper is to examine possible changes in the extent of the turnaround in growth patterns between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas throughout the 1970s.

United States population trends in 1960 suggested that the growing socioeconomic status of blacks would result in increasingly similar migration patterns among blacks and whites. Analysis of 1950 to 1980 census data was conducted to test that prediction. The analysis showed that in general, recent population trends have differed greatly from past…

Migration data from the Current Population Survey indicate a small population gain for rural areas during the period from 1990 to 1994. Examination of data by age, education, and poverty level suggests a reversal of the "brain drain" trend of the 1980s, as more working-age people with children and college graduates move into rural areas,…

During the calendar year September 1977 to August 1978 there were over 10,000 Arizona migrant students listed in the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS).

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)

Using data extracted from the Migrant Student Record Transfer System, a study was undertaken to (1) define the flow of migrant children to and from the state month by month, (2) determine the principal movement patterns, and (3) examine intrastate movement and its patterns. For trend analysis, data were compared for the calendar years of 1975,…

It indicates that in 1977 Region 3 ranked…

Kern County in the south central part of the state makes up Region 5 of the California Migrant Education Program.
