Changes in the Segregation of Whites from Blacks during the 1980s: Small Steps toward a More Integrated Society.

Farley, Reynolds; Frey, William H.

American Sociological Review, v59 n1 p23-45 Feb 1994

Evaluates segregation patterns in 1990 and trends in segregation between 1980 and 1990 for 232 U.S. metropolitan areas with substantial black populations. Explanations for differences in metropolitan segregation involve the persistence of past influences maintaining segregation in old metropolitan areas, a high percentage of new housing, and white racial attitudes.
