title: Rural-urban differences in black family structure:  an analysis of the 1990 census.
abstract: This article examines the relationship between family structure and persisting disadvantage among U.S. blacks.  The "article employs data from the 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples to compare the rural African American family to its urban counterpart.  Results from the logistic regression analysis reveal that for rural Blacks, family structure is less important than community type and race relative to poverty status.  These findings suggest a need for a refinement of the underclass debate."
