Perspectives on 1980-1990 Demographic Changes in America

View this Publication

Report reviews three approaches that propose to explain redistribution reversals of the 1970s.

This is followed by an evaluation of how such explanations fare in accounting for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan demographic trends over the 1980-90 period. Report also directs attention toward the ‘rural renaissance’ and how such demographic structures might affect future redistribution patterns.
