We examine whether the legal decision to grant unitary status to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district, which led to the end of race-conscious student assignment policies, increased the probability that families with children enrolled in the district would move to neighborhoods with a greater proportion of student residents of the same race as…

Study of desegregation efforts in the Oklahoma Independent School District and residence patterns in the Oklahoma City metropolitan region reveals that desegregated schools do not lead to desegregated housing: there is little if any direct relationship between student assignments and household relocation behavior.

The failure of the "Access to Excellence" program to achieve voluntary school integration in spite of magnet programs and permissive transfers is described. The question of white flight is examined in light of the belief that mandatory…

By comparing seven pairs of cities that are otherwise similar (in terms of size, region, minority…
