title: Black and white population change in small American suburbs since World War II:  regional differences.
abstract: "This study examines the relationship between black population concentration (% black), black population change and white population change for small American suburbs for the 1950-1980 period.  Linear, tipping point (curvilinear) and interaction models of racial transition are evaluated for each decade by region (South and non-South), controlling for several other suburban characteristics (age, annexation and distance to the Central Business District) which may affect both black and white population change.  The analyses show that racial transition in suburbs involves the parallel development of white and black populations with mainly weak and complex causal linkages which are sensitive to broader suburbanization patterns."
