Long, Larry H.; DeAre, Diana – 1980
An unexpected demographic development in the United States in the 1970's was the shift of nonmetropolitan areas to net inmigration, reversing a 70-year trend. Using the 1970 definition of metropolitan, the percent of the population living in metropolitan areas fell from 69% in 1970 to 67.8% in 1978. No easily identifiable set of reasons explained…

The concern here is that thousands of poor city dwellers will relocate to the suburbs and…

The potential for population dispersal was evaluated. The study invoked such conditions as interest in living in a small town that is a 30-minute drive and one that is at least 1-hour drive from a large city, a 10 percent loss of family income, and whether or not the individual is a likely migrant.

O Tuathaigh, M. A. G. – 1990
This paper presents a historical commentary on some of the literature on the language predicament--and especially the kind of bilingual community--found in the Irish Gaeltacht.

Downs, Anthony – 1977
The three major factors affecting the future of the nation's cities are: (1) lack of housing demand due to population migration; (2) the conflict between suburban growth and city restoration; and (3) the combination of racially segregated housing markets, obsolescence of existing buildings, and the high cost structure of both public sector and…

Findings show that most factors affect central city flight more through the choice of destination than through the decision to move. (Author/MC)

Schnare, Ann Burnet – 1978
The movement of the black population from rural to urban areas increased the potential for integration by ending the isolation of blacks on farms in the rural South.
