This article uses interviews of long-standing neighborhood residents' sentiments of university expansion into their community. These data provide persuasive empirical evidence for the need of urban anchor institutions to include as an integral component of their campus reopening efforts, intentional plans for reducing the disruption of housing…

America's changing color line is perhaps best expressed in shifting patterns of neighborhood residential segregation--the geographic separation of races. This research evaluates black exceptionalism by using the universe of U.S. blocks from the 1990 and 2000 decennial censuses to provide a "single" geographically inclusive national…

Using Canadian census tract data, the relationship between population density and social pathology is explored. When effects of income and national origin have been removed building type is found to be a significant predictor of variation in social allowance and delinquency. It is argued that the number of individuals per unit space is less…

This paper uses 1980 Census data to assess the patterns of population redistribution and migration of Asian Americans. Analyzing migration flows, it argues that Asian Americans who immigrated to the United States before 1975 followed a national trend of regional population shift from the Northeast and the North Central to the West and South.…

Population shifts directly affect the bottom line, so the basics of demography are now basic to business as well. Demographics combine demographic data with socioeconomic and geographic factors to help business and other managers know the market for the goods and services they offer. This guide explains market, product, and site analyses,…

A study was conducted to examine two related questions concerning aged return migration: first, which features are common to states that are able to attract a high proportion of their migration-prone native sons and daughters; and second, what might account for the differences, if any, in the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of return…

Presents a comparative analysis of changing ethnic residential distributions from 1940-1970 to identify recently evolved forms of ethnic settlement in the Detroit (Michigan) metropolitan area. Identifies and classifies contemporary types of ethnic communities to expand the knowledge of ethnic settlement. (MK)

Examined the influence of birth place on the internal migration and spatial redistribution patterns of foreign-born and native-born populations in the United States for 1975 to 1980 and 1985 to 1990. Differing patterns and networks established by immigrant cohorts have resulted in higher concentrations of the foreign-born compared to the…

A mathematical expression of the classic zone and sector phenomena in the distribution of residential neighborhood characteristics in urban areas is developed. (Author/JB)

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.

This paper uses data from the U.S. decennial censuses and March Supplements to the Current Population Survey of 1995-99 to examine the historic patterns of immigrant settlement within the United States, recent shifts in these patterns, and the extent to which changes are due to the international versus internal migration, focusing particularly on…

This special report analyzes patterns of migration in and out of New York State from 1980 to 1985, based on the "Current Population Survey: Annual Demographic File, 1985" and a mail survey of current and former New York residents. A brief summary and analysis of population loss during the 1970s is discussed. Data are presented from the…

The increase in Black suburbanization during the 1960s and 70s is examined in the context of racial changes in earlier decades. A sample of 1,114 suburbs are examined, and regional differences between the North and South are described. Racial change occurred with greater relative frequency than in previous decades. (Author/VM)

Three commonly used measures of segregation (index of dissimilarity, p* interaction probabilities, and the correlation ratio) reflect three conceptually distinct aspects of racial residential segregation. The results of empirical studies will depend on the measure chosen. (Author/KH)

Data from a land-use study of small- and medium-sized towns in New Zealand are used to ascertain the relationship between official and effective density measures. It was found that the reliability of official measures of density is very low overall, although reliability increases with community size. (Author/RLV)
