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 to suburbs are correlated with school segregation indices to test the assumption that areas having higher levels of segregation also have lower rates of migration. The areas selected for study are the 22 standard metropolitan statistical areas focused upon by Coleman and Kelly in their 1975 study of trends in school segregation from 1968-1973. Results indicate that differences in segregation between cities are more closely related to birth rate differentials between blacks and whites than they are to white flight. The comparision of the volume and rate of white city to ring migration during two periods of time indicates that in many of the cities examined there has actually been a decline in this phenomenon. The migration data presented in this paper, suggest that if there is white flight, school desegregation is not making whites flee cities any faster than they have in the past. (Author/AM)
