Suggests that although the explained variance in negro immigration rates is much lower than that for whites, comparisons of the patterns of ecological determinants for the two races show more similarities than differences. (Author)

Trends in black and white migration differentials (by race, age, education, and region) between 1965 and 1976 are analyzed in this paper. Findings provide further documentation of the increased net flow of populations from the North and East to the South and West regions of the United States. Migration differentials with respect to age increased…

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…

In this report, the black population of the U.S. is examined for patterns of residence and education, using information developed by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in 1970 and 1971. Selected census statistics are reported. A unit of black urban concentration somewhat different from the standard metropolitan statistical area used by the Bureau of…

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…

The tables in this report show birthplace and residence in 1956 for the Negro population in the six standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's) which contained a central city with 500,000 or more Negro population at the time of the 1970 census. The tables show that Southern-born blacks living in the six metropolitan areas generally are…

The character of black migration, as well as the significance that migration will play in the future of the black population is examined in this paper. Section I of the paper presents an introduction. Section II addresses recent migration to metropolitan areas, focusing on the origins of recent migrants, characteristics of recent migrants (age,…

Three issues are discussed in the beginning of this paper: general trends of urban population growth among blacks since 1930, regional variations in growth and distribution from 1950 to 1970, and urban growth and metropolitanization. The remainder of the paper examines the growth of the black urban population by size of place from 1950 to 1970.…

The urbanization of the black population is a relatively recent phenomenon. Historically, migration has been the major source of the growth of the black population in the large cities of the North, yet the migration from nonmetropolitan to metropolitan areas has been going long enough to have established a substantial black population in the…
