T HIS paper supplements current studies of metropolitan areas in which emphasis has been placed mainly upon the growth of suburbs, or the metropolitan ring. The (as defined by the U. S. Bureau of the Census) is the object of attention in this study which investigated changes in growth and in patterns of distribution of total, white, and nonwhite populations by zonal distance from the city center during the decade 1940-1950.1 Twenty-three cities were selected for analysis. Fourteen of these were used in a similar study by Warren S. Thompson for the decade 1930-1940.2 The remaining nine cities were selected to supplement the fourteen cities from Thompson's study so that there would be good representation of city size and regional location.3 The twenty-three cities are not a representative sample of any universe of cities. The main sources of data for this study were the census tract publications of the U. S. Bureau of the Census for 1940 and 1950, and the 1930-1940 study of central city growth by Thompson
