Between 2014 and 2060, the U.S. population is projected to increase from 319 million to 417 million, reaching 400 million in 2051. The U.S. population is projected to grow more slowly in future decades than in the recent past, as these projections assume that fertility rates will continue to decline and that there will be a modest decline in the…

This study examines state- and county-level data on population, age, race and ethnicity, housing occupancy and housing tenure, education, labor force, employment and unemployment, income and poverty, health insurance coverage, disability status, migration patterns, and veteran status from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) for the 13…

This study examines state- and county-level data on population, age, race and ethnicity, housing occupancy and housing tenure, education, labor force, employment and unemployment, income and poverty, health insurance coverage, disability status, migration patterns, and veteran status from the 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) for the 13…

Using 1960 and 1970 census data, this paper examines several hypotheses on the trends and variations in the efficiency of interregional migration streams of black males. (JC)

The study determined: if there were economic and/or demographic differences between them which existed prior to out-migration; what were the actual earnings differences between cohorts of return and nonreturn migrants following their migration; and if return migrants experienced an improvement or worsening in earnings relative to cohorts of…

The article examines gross migration of households between nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas, as well as the corresponding counterstream, from 1965 to 1970. Using data from the 15 percent sample of the 1970 census, gross migration flows and rates are estimated and cross-classified by race, age, and marital status. (Author/NQ)

Recent trends indicate that the traditional pattern of South to North migration has shifted toward a counterstream movement back to the South. This trend has been particularly characteristic of Southern blacks. To examine this development, data on a sample of blacks in the 1970 United States census were analyzed by comparing individual and…

Immigrants competed on a limited scale with residents for new jobs in four industrializing rural areas in Arizona, the Central Ozarks, Mississippi, and Arkansas during 1965-70. This study determined: (1) competition for jobs between residents and immigrants; (2) need for immigrants to staff industries; and (3) differences between attributes of…

Trends in black and white migration differentials (by race, age, education, and region) between 1965 and 1976 are analyzed in this paper. Findings provide further documentation of the increased net flow of populations from the North and East to the South and West regions of the United States. Migration differentials with respect to age increased…

This paper quantifies and analyzes the total flows of human capital moving in and out of the West over time as a result of interregional migration. Particular emphasis is placed on analyzing the "age-education" interaction effect of migration on flows of human capital. Migration was highly selective of the young and/or highly educated…

In replication of other studies, the natural decrease of Texas population was examined in terms of the effect of migration and fertility. Utilizing Texas and U.S. vital statistics and the 1970 U.S. Census of Population, Texas population trends were analyzed for the 1968-72 period by dividing the 254 Texas counties into: (1) 65 natural decrease…

From 1940 to 1970, the United States was characterized by both rapid population growth and rapid urbanization. However, in the 1970's, both of these trends have diminished. A decline in the birth rate has brought lower overall growth--with the decline being the greatest in the major metropolitan areas. There is firm evidence of shift in population…

Compositional change in migration streams between nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas are examined in relation to the post-1970 migration "turnaround." Analysis focuses on (1) changes in the sex, age, educational and occupational selectivity, and interchange of migration, and (2) the impact of migration on population composition. (Author)

The differentials between Spanish origin and other ethnic groups of farm wageworkers were investigated by comparative analyses of age, sex, education, migratory status, employment, and earnings. Farmworkers were defined as persons 14 years and over in the civilian noninstitutional population who performed farm wagework at some time during 1973,…

Analyzes population redistribtuion over last decade, focusing on changed rates of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan population growth. Discusses changes produced by migration processes: growing proximity of rural and urban areas; changing nonmetropolitan community age composition; differences in population migration patterns among occupational…
