Summary:An examination of household movement into census tracts in the Chicago area shows less white movement into racially mixed tracts in 1960 and 1970, when black populations were increasing at higher rates. In 1980, whites moved into racially mixed tracts in numbers nearly sufficient to maintain racial stability. A simulation model of neighborhood racial change further shows that variation in the racial composition of in-movers may have resulted from differences in overall black population change.
