The research examines the structural and spatial features of Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan places with net outmigration, 1940-60, and net inmigration, 1960-70, in comparison with Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan places with net outmigration, 1940-70. A one-way analysis of variance and step-wise discriminant function analysis were used. (Author/NQ)

It is widely believed that neighborhoods that are substantially racially integrated will resegregate, becoming overwhelmingly black over a few years. This belief follows from the assumption that few white families will move into a racially mixed neighborhood. Using data from the Neighborhood Characteristics File of the 1970 Census, Mid-Atlantic…

Examining 1,815 Pennsylvania rural boroughs and townships, seven variables were employed to determine the places where net migration had been outward 1940-60 and inward 1960-70 and where it had been inward 1960-70 and outward 1960-70. The demographic variables employed were: (1) total population of each selected nonmetropolitan area, (2) absolute…

The focus concerned the condition of employment and nonemployment that existed in the late summer and early fall of 1972. Data were collected from the placement office at…

In order to test the hypothesis that size of place of residence and urban proximity preferences constitute factors in population dispersal migration behavior, a random sample of 777 Pennsylvania households plus a sample screened for moving probability (N=319) were surveyed via personal interviews in 1974. A follow-up survey on actual migration…

In Pennsylvania, high-poverty nonmetro counties are attracting additional poor immigrants, especially the least educated, at the same time that college graduates are showing a net outmigration from rural areas. This pattern increases the strain on rural educational and social services. Survey results suggest that the poor move primarily for…

This report presents demographics and information on Pennsylvania's state system of higher education and on issues that may influence that system in the 1990s. Following a brief introduction, the first section treats changes in state demographics including migration, minority groups, accelerated aging of the general population, and family housing.…

An evaluation team visited each of nine program sites to evaluate Pennsylvania's summer migrant education programs. Evaluation criteria were based on the Eleven National Goals of Migrant Education, state goals (dealing with staff development, curriculum, communities, and administration), and local objectives which considered regional differences.…

Projections of the number of 18-year-olds in each Pennsylvania county through 1994 are presented. The projections are further disaggregated by the student attributes of sex and race. The projections are based on historical migration rates, natality rates, and mortality rates. The projection procedure assumes that the survival and migration rates…
