Although in-migration and out-migration levels of communities or counties are usually positively correlated, little work has been done on the correlation between in-migration and out-migration within population subcategories. Using a special 1980 data source from the U.S. Census Bureau, this paper examines migration patterns in 30 age/education…

This study analyzes the flow of black suburban migration in 24 communities which accounted for nearly one quarter of black suburban growth between 1960 and 1970.
