Residential and Racial Mortality Differentials in the South by Cause of Death1
Mortality levels and differences by metropolitan-nonmetropolitan residence for blacks and whites are examined in the South using life-table techniques. Life tables are constructed for Southern subpopulations using U.S. vital statistics and census data for 1980, and differences in the life expectancies are decomposed by cause of death. Results suggest that life expectancy is higher for metropolitan and white populations. Racial mortality differenc…
The retrospective construction of metropolitan areas for longitudinal analysis
Racial Occupational Inequality, 1940-1980
Aggregate occupational inequality between white and black men declined at the national level in each decade between 1940 and 1980. In the 1940s and 1950s, these reductions were produced by the movement of the black population out of the South and into other regions and did not reflect improvements in relative opportunities for blacks within regions. In the 1960s and 1970s, reductions in occupational inequality resulted primarily from improvements…
Racial Occupational Inequality, 1940-1980
We replicate previous research investigating changes in racial occupational inequality disaggregated by age and level of educational attainment (Hare, 1965; Siegel, 1965; Johnson and Sell, 1976) and then extend this research in four ways. First, wre update previous analyses by examining change in inequality between 1970 and 1980. Second, wre perform separate analyses by region as tell as analyses for the nation as a whole. Third, we investigate r…
Racial Mix and Industrial Productivity
The relationship between the racial composition of the work force in an industrial category and that industry's level of productivity is explored. The logic of the major theories of labor-force behavior implies that a large minority labor-force presence will be negatively correlated with an industry's level of productivity because of the relatively weak attachment to the work force of such groups as blacks and women. After exploring information a…
Overcrowding in the Household
Victimization Rates, Exposure to Risk, and Fear of Crime
Studies of fear of crime repeatedly point to an apparent paradox: fear of crime and risk of victimization are related inversely among demographic groups (i.e., age, race, and sex groups). However, data from surveys of Chicago residents show that fear of crime is related positively to victimization rates once they are adjusted for exposure to risk. When demographic variables are included with the adjusted rates as predictors of fear of crime, age …

Race, sex, and economic returns to education
Overcrowding in the Home
Several recent studies have suggested that, contrary to investigators' initial expectations, household crowding typically has little impact on humans. Using a sample collected in Chicago which minimized the collinearity between crowding and socioeconomic variables, we find that both objective crowding (as measured by persons per room) and subjective crowding (as indicated by (1) excessive social demands and (2) a lack of privacy) are strongly rel…

Structural Antecedents of the Shape of Strikes
Two models purporting to explain variation in strike shape (Shorter and TYlly, 1971; Britt and Galle, 1972) are compared using cross-sectional data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We found that the concentration of workers in larger plants is conducive to shorter, broader, less frequent strikes. More heavily unionized industries tend to be characterized by broader, shorter, more frequent strikes; industries with larger work forces tend to ha…

Congestion, Concentration and Behavior
This paper first reviews the descriptions and structural explanations for variations in urban population densities in the United States over several decades. The research reviewed focuses on shifts in the technology and economics of travel as being the major influences on urban density distributions. These variables appear to be somewhat less adequate as explanations of the process in recent decades. After reviewing these findings and suggesting …
The effect of illegitimacy on U.S. general fertility rates and population growth
Illegitimacy and bridal pregnancy has attracted the attention of scholars concerned with a variety of plausible causes and consequences ofbirths conceived out of wedlock. Sociologists have expressed concern with the impact of such births on maternal and child health, family stability and the economic status offamilies. Although demographers have described trends in various populations, and have occasionally suggested that births conceived out of …

Metropolitan migration efficiency
The migration efficiency ratio of an area is defined as the net migration of the area (in-migrants minus out-migrants) divided by the total number of moves whose origin or destination is that area (in-migrants plus out-migrants) multiplied by 100. This paper investigates variations in migration efficiency from 1955 to 1960 among Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas with populations of 250,000 or more. Regional variation in migration efficiency…

Occupational Composition and the Metropolitan Hierarchy
The Occupational composition of communities varies widely, and no community has a "typical" occupational structure. Each local community is an integrated part of the national system of urban places and related regions. A major determinant of the internal social structure of cities is their specialized relationships with the total system of cities. Variations in the occupational composition of large metropolitan areas can be attributed primarily t…
