A study of the spatial distribution of divorced women in Philadelphia in 1930 indicates the highest concentration in apartment and rooming-house areas characterized by mobility, dense population, and relatively high degree of anonymity. Sections showing scarcity of divorced women are very sparsely populated or predominantly populated by foreign-born groups of Roman Catholic persuasion, and are located on the outskirts of the city. The divorced woman presents essentially a study in social isolation
