The central hypothesis of this paper is that as the Negro in the deep South becomes more urban, he becomes less equal to the white population around him in terms of education, occupation, and income. The concept of relative deprivation is used in this regard to examine the position in which the Negro finds himself in relation to whites who live in the same general area. The data obtained from the 1960 United States Census tend to support the hypothesis. Although the urban Negro in the deep South ranks higher than his rural counterpart on any absolute educational, occupational, or economic scale, the discrepancy between Negro and white in these variables is higher in urban areas
