This paper uses multiple linkage analysis to identify greater than expected out-migration flows (salient flows or links) from State Economic Areas (SEAs) within the southeastern United States for two time periods, 1955-60 and 1965-70. In addition, the number of salient flows per SEA are compared with selected characteristics of the SEA, such as…

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)

This statistical profile provides current demographic data for Washington State and is also broken down by counties, incorporated cities, and towns. Fifteen tables show population figures; components of population change; housing units by structure type; annexations, incorporations and municipal boundary changes; growth of households; estimates of…

This statistical profile provides current demographic data for Washington State and its counties, incorporated cities and towns. Seventeen tables show population by age and sex; population for counties, incorporated cities and towns, and the state; components of population change; a rank order of total persons in incorporated cities and towns;…

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…

Although the institutional structure of destination communities may remain unchanged by migration, the socioeconomic structure may be directly affected. Data from a statewide survey in Florida indicate that interstate migrants (who have lived in Florida less than 5 years), intrastate migrants (who have lived in Florida more than 5 years but in the…

Nine pamphlets comprise this college-level curriculum support package about 1970 census data. "Teacher's Guide: Approaches to Census Data" describes unit objectives, discusses student materials and other publications the teacher may need, and suggests class exercises. A workbook for students gives an overview of 1970 census subject…

Focusing on changes in differential growth in areas inside and outside places of 2,500 and highlighting recent patterns of concentration/deconcentration, this report documents trends in population redistribution within metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas of the United States between 1950 and 1975. In sum, the report shows apparent…

In attempts to forestall problems inherent in too-rapid urbanization, China has instituted a migration policy designed to strictly control changes in permanent residence from rural areas or small urban places to larger cities and to encourage the development of small cities and towns. The policy is enforced through the household registration…

In an effort to provide conceptual meaning to the role of residential preferences and their influence upon migration behavior in the context of a changing society, data derived from a 1973 statewide survey of Arizona heads of households (a random sample of 1,416 people) were analyzed in terms of: (1) residential preference and spatial proximity to…
