While some of the patterns and trends have been documented, no study has analyzed in a disaggregated way the process by which black suburbanization takes place, that is, which blacks move, to what type neighborhoods they move, and in what patterns they settle in the metropolitan area. The author analyzes this process in the context of goals for equal opportunity and concludes that the black suburbanization that is occurring represents more of a resegregation of blacks in particular sectors of suburbia than dispersal in an open housing market.","PeriodicalId":85823,"journal":{"name":"Urban affairs quarterly","volume":"14 4","pages":"405-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/107808747901400401","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22023859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing multiple indicators of social class and three census years for Philadelphia, the authors test several models for each of the above two issues. The testing supports the contention that Philadelphia has had a significant resurgence of the upper social classes since 1950, but that this resurgence resides largely in rental housing stock. The indicator of the middle class shows very widespread movement through the metropolitan area, with the lower and upper classes still segregated from each other.","PeriodicalId":85823,"journal":{"name":"Urban affairs quarterly","volume":"13 3","pages":"313-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/107808747801300303","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22004004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An early study by John B. Calhoun (1962) described the deviant behavior of rats who were given sufficient food and water but crowded into substantially higher density quarters than their natural habitat. He observed the following &dquo;pathological&dquo; behaviors under these conditions: increased mortality; lower fertility rates; neglect of the young by their mothers; overly aggressive and conflict-oriented behavior; withdrawal from community life; and sexual aberrations. More recently, sociologists Galle et al. (1972) described linkages between population density and indicators of human social &dquo;pathologies&dquo; in 75 community areas of Chicago. They found significant statistical relationships between high densities in these areas and high mortality rates, low fertility rates, high public assistance rates, high juvenile delinquency rates, and high admissions to mental hospitals. Of course, high densities in Chicago were related to ethnicity, social, class, and poverty, which were themselves related to social pathology; but Galle et al. report that high densities contribute to social pathology even after controlling for the effect of these other demographic variables.","PeriodicalId":85823,"journal":{"name":"Urban affairs quarterly","volume":"11 2","pages":"265-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/107808747501100205","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22003749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
