This research note examines the effects of southern-born migrants on patterns of racial residential segregation in northern cities. Data from 1940 to 1970 plus an extended analysis of 1970 data reveal that segregation levels are enhanced by southern birth of both blacks and whites. The effects of southern birth on segregation are shown to hold when city size and percentage black are controlled. Implications of the findings for urban research and assimilation theory are briefly discussed
