Peer reviewedMarshall, Harvey; Lewis, Bonnie L. – Journal of Urban Affairs, 1982
Migration data suggest an evolutionary process in which central cities attract high status migrants when cities are relatively small, attract migrants less as they grow, and then again become attractive. Large northern cities may currently be in the middle stage. (Author/MJL)

The cumulative adverse impact of residential white flight from large central cities on the residual population has led policy makers to be wary of instituting programs which will further exacerbate the process.

The 1980 United States Census showed a marked acceleration in the suburbanization of blacks during the 1970s. This study analyzes statistical data from the 1985 American Housing Survey (AHS) National and Metropolitan Files to determine if that pattern of acceleration continued in the 1980s. These sets of data also permitted racial and…

Adopting the demographer's cohort-component projection model, this study examines migration patterns for six cities. The results show that White and Black lifecourse migration patterns have become more alike in the post-1970 period; yet, significant racial disparities still exist. Thus, recent migration patterns do not imply eventual metropolitan…

Peer reviewedConzen, Michael P. – Journal of Geography, 1983
The post-World War II American pattern of general urban growth, rapid suburbanization, and central city decline has now given way to reduced urban growth outside the Sunbelt, increased growth in nonmetropolitan areas, greater self-sufficiency for suburbs, and continuing depression in the central cities. Implications of these changes are discussed.…
