This book is a compilation of data on black Americans. The record of the past two decades shows that blacks have been migrating out of the rural South into the cities of the North and West. There, with greater choices, many have been progressing economically from unskilled low-paid jobs into white-collar and skilled occupations. In search of…

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…

Discusses "general trends in black urbanization for the greater part of the twentieth century and the similarities and dissimilarities black trends have had with those of whites."

Examines how 1990 state elderly populations have been affected by "new elderly births" (a state's population, ages 55-59 in 1985, which survived to ages 60-64 in 1990) as well as by migration components. During the 1985-90 period, elderly births exerted a greater impact than migration on elderly gains and demographic composition for all…

Following…

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…

The research reported in this paper is concerned with: the continued shrinkage of the area commonly known as the Southern black belt -- counties in the old South having a major proportion of their populations consisting of Negroes -- up until 1970; the recent role migration has played in black population loss; and the probable effects of lengthy…
