Residential segregation in new Hispanic destinations
Community Resiliency to BRAC Recommendations
This paper highlights the importance of community resiliency in understanding how communities will fare after the realignment or closure of a local military facility. Two Mississippi communities, Pascagoula and Meridian, in the early stages of the latest Base Realignment and Closing (BRAC) process, were selected as case studies. A community action model was used to examine how communities respond to realignment and closure of military facilities.…
National estimates of racial segregation in rural and small-town America
The objective of this paper is to provide, for the first time, comparative estimates of racial residential segregation of blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans in nonmetropolitan and metropolitan places in 1990 and 2000. Analyses are based on block data from the 1990 and 2000 U.S. decennial censuses. The results reveal a singularly important and perhaps surprising central conclusion: levels and trends in recent patterns of racial segregation in…
Municipal Underbounding
This paper examines patterns of annexation, including municipal “underbounding,” in nonmetropolitan towns in the South; that is, whether blacks living adjacent to municipalities are systematically excluded from incorporation. Annexation‐or the lack of annexation‐can be a political tool used by municipal leaders to exclude disadvantaged or low‐income populations, including minorities, from voting in local elections and from receiving access to pub…

Exiting Tanf
Objective. We ask whether individual and local factors known to influence reliance on welfare continue to be important under the TANF program, and if such factors differentially affect exit from TANF for African Americans and whites. Methods. We use monthly administrative data on TANF recipients from October 1996 to July 2004 from the Mississippi Department of Human Services. These data are linked to local economic, social, and spatial characteri…
Does the Tanf Work-First Initiative Help Low-Income Families Make Successful Welfare-to-Work Transitions
A general argument is how states implement their TANF policy and the extent to which states build partnerships with local communities might affect the chances for low-income families to make a successful welfare-to-work transition. Using data gathered through a key-informant procedure, we find that many low-income families in Mississippi left the TANF rolls because the state implemented “front and back door” policy aimed at reducing caseloads rat…
Community Concentration of Poverty and Its Consequences on Nonmetro County Persistence of Poverty in Mississippi
In this article we examine differences in the spatial distribution of poverty within nonmetro counties in Mississippi, and the extent to which such differences might be related to the probability that a nonmetro county might be classified as persistently poor. This study contributes to the current literature by dividing the low-income population of the county between those residing in open territory and those within urban and rural census defined…
Civic Responsibility and the Environment
In this article, we examine the extent to which variations in local social, economic, and spatial conditions might account for variation in community environmental activeness across 208 communities falling within nonmetropolitan areas in Mississippi. We use GIS technology to identify community boundaries, and use key informant and census data to measure community attributes. The findings indicate that community environmental activeness tends to b…
Promoting Environmental Democracy Using GIS as a Means to Integrate Community into the EPA-Basins Approach
This article presents a GIS-based methodology to integrate community into the Environmental Protection Agency's Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources (BASINS). The proposed methodology was used for the identification, measurement, and comparison of community areas within and between the upstream and downstream watersheds of the Upper Pearl River Basin in Mississippi. Drawing on various sources of data, the communities s…
Tanf Participation Rates
A general criticism of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act is that it is primarily the result of an urban political agenda, and it may hurt rather than help the rural poor. Under the new welfare system, the rural poor that are most likely to be affected are those who live in socially, economically, and spatially disadvantaged communities. More residents in these communities are likely to need TANF, clients in these communities are least likely to leave T…
