Female-Headed Families: An Ecological Model of Residential Concentration in a Small City.

And Others; Roncek, Dennis W.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v42 n1 p157-69 Feb 1980

Proposed an ecological model to explain the concentration of female-headed families in a small city. Data for city blocks provided patterns of concentration. Of the physical variables, only historical development of the city and market decisions by nonresidential consumers were important predictors of concentration; spatial concentration was not important.
