Abstract: This volume is 1 of a series aimed at converting the vast statistical yield of the 1980 US census into authoritative analyses of major trends and changes in American life. This volume's main objective is to interpret the redistribution patterns of the 1970s and early 1980s in light of the changing social and economic contexts for redistribution that emerged during this period, taking cognizance of the major explanations and theories that have been offered to account for these new patterns. Part 1, comprising chapters 3-6, pertains to redistribution across regions and metropolitan areas. This portion of the monograph provides an overview of the new regional and metropolitan area redistribution patterns by evaluating the pervasiveness of the post-1970 redistribution reversals, as well as shifts in the demographic components of change that underlie them. It examines the impact of 1970-1980 growth and decline on population and household subgroups in various areas, and undertakes a separate examination of redistribution patterns, determinants, and consequences for the black population. Part 2 of this monograph, comprising chapters 7-11, evaluates post-1970 shifts in central city-suburban redistribution within the nation's 39 largest metropolitan areas. It also documents aggregate population changes for central cities and suburbs along with their underlying demographic components. It devotes the most attention to shifts in the racial and socioeconomic selectivities that have become associated with post-1970 suburbanization, and their impacts on the central city. It provides careful evaluation of selective post-1970 city-suburb redistribution tendencies with the aid of rich area-based summary data from the 1970 and 1980 decennial censuses. It evaluates the extent to which the 1970s' shifts in racial segregation, the decline of full-family households, and the rise of the so-called service city have effected beneficial demographic changes in large central cities. The final chapter ties together this study's major results and underlying perspectives. It reviews the most important influences on redistribution in the post-1970 period and speculates about future redistribution tendencies that could emerge.
