A Neighborhood in Transition: A Longitudinal Study of the Perceptions Of Neighborhood Desirability During the Early Stages of Racial Change.
Abstract
The pattern of neighborhood change has been strikingly uneven. Some urban communities have changed dramatically from white to black in a short period of time. Other localities have successfully resisted racial change and remained white ethnic pockets surrounded by largely black neighborhoods. Still others have become racially mixed for varying periods of time. It is generally believed that "integration" tends to be a temporary condition which eventually resolves itself in a predominantly black community. However, there is evidence that stable integrated neighborhoods are more common than most Americans think. 1 Indeed, racial transition has been so variable that predictions are perilous.
