An Evaluation of Three Theories Regarding the Growth of Black Female-Headed Families
The rapid growth in the number of black female-headed familles during the past two decades has been widely noted in the popular press as well as in the research literature, but there has been no consensus on the cause or causes of this phenomenon. Three prominent hypotheses that attempt to explain the rapid growth and high level of female-headed families among blacks are identified and tested in this study. The first hypothesis suggests that welf…

City Size, Racial Composition, and Election of Black Mayors inside and Outside the South
This article examines the linkage between racial composition and likelihood of electing a black mayor in cities of a particular size and location. Special attention is given to cities with a black majority population in 1980 or with a black mayor in 1985. Most black mayors come from cities with black majority populations, but most cities with such a majority do not have black mayors. After controlling for city size and percentage of blacks, it is…
Black Business Ownership in the Rural South
The relatively low business ownership rate among blacks nationwide (12.5 per 1,000 people) is even lower in the rural South (8.8 per 1,000). This study uses Census Bureau data to document the level of business ownership among blacks in the rural South and to explore a number of hypotheses regarding the low level of business ownership among rural blacks and the variation from state to state. The size of the black population in the rural areas of a…
A Note on the use of Regression Methods in Population Estimates
Evidence which has emerged in the past few years indicates that the relative accuracy of population estimates derived from the ratio-correlation method and the difference-correlation method varies from state to state. In assessing the possible reasons why neither technique is uniformly more accurate, attention is focused on the temporal instability of the statistical relationships between symptomatic indicators and population change. The author c…
Report on a multiple regression method for making population estimates
A new method of making population estimates is introduced and contrasted to the standard ratio-correlation method. The new method, called the “difference-correlation method,” produced population estimates for the counties of Michigan which had a smaller mean percentage error than estimates produced by the ratio-correlation method. The differences of proportions which are used in the difference-correlation method will always have means of zero, wh…
