Economic opportunity, the force that has driven population shifts for years, is changing the face of migration as Hispanics move into parts of the nation beyond border states and traditional ports of entry. North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Indiana are experiencing a steady growth in Hispanic population. In addition, West Virginia, Ohio, and…

The booming, oil-rich economy of Alberta, Canada, has left universities on the eastern side of the country scrambling for students, as families and recent high-school graduates move westward to seek their fortunes. Peter D. Halpin, executive director of the Association of Atlantic Universities, says that, "The Alberta economy has been an…

This report presents estimates of the population for July 1, 1980, to 1983 for Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands of the United States, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the remainder of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. For each of these areas, the report also gives 1980 census counts and the components of population…

Examines relevance of region and migration to divorce. Regions of high population mobility have high divorce rates, regions with low migration rates experience low levels of family dissolution. Persisting regional differences in the incidence of family dissolution are independent of relevant social demographic variables. (Author/ABL)

At least two important demographic changes will occur in the United States in the future: the growth of the Hispanic population and the growth of the second and third generations among Hispanics. We argue that the expansion of the Hispanic population is unlikely to slow the retreat from marriage, despite the pronuptial cultural orientations of…

In this paper, I examine how Paule Marshall's "Praisesong For The Widow", fictionalizes "migrations of the subject". I argue that "Praisesong" explores the threshold between displacement, exile and prodigality. The paradox elaborated in this analysis is located precisely in how self-questioning ends up in self-affirmation; how conceptualisations…

This report marks the inaugural edition of a regular summary report in Brookings' "State of Metropolitan America" series. It focuses on the major demographic forces transforming the nation and large metropolitan areas in the 2000s. In this sense, it previews what people will learn from the results of the 2010 census, as well as supplements those…

This document examines the geographical mobility of population in the United States from 1975 to 1977. It is divided into three main parts. The first part briefly traces the interregional migration of blacks, the black return migration to their region of birth, the interregional migration of whites, and the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan…

The first phase of a longitudinal research project, "Assessing Rural Communities' Viability and Associated Factors Under Conditions of Population Change," was conducted in 1975 in eight Utah communities (Panguitch, Richfield, Salina, Delta, Moab, Duchesne, Roosevelt, and Vernal) to provide useful information for planners, researchers,…

During 1999-2001, the combined effects of far fewer rural inmigrants and many more outmigrants led to the first significant nonmetro population loss since the 1980s. The rural West showed the greatest percentage loss through migration, and only the rural Midwest showed a gain during the period. Nonmetro college graduates showed a large decline,…

It is widely believed that neighborhoods that are substantially racially integrated will resegregate, becoming overwhelmingly black over a few years. This belief follows from the assumption that few white families will move into a racially mixed neighborhood. Using data from the Neighborhood Characteristics File of the 1970 Census, Mid-Atlantic…

Narrative text, tables, and maps summarize information derived from a random sample of 20% of the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS) data base as it existed in June 1976 related to the mobility patterns of migrant children in the contiguous United States and Puerto Rico from January 1975 to April 1976. The data base is a tabulation of…

This study evaluates two recommendations regarding non-resident students, which called for: (1) increased fees for non-resident students, and (2) adoption by California of a residency policy which requires residence as a non-student for six months before student residency status is granted. The report begins with a summary of the study method, the…
