Blacks and Hispanics in Chicago

Michigan State University, East Lansing, U.S.A.

Data for this paper were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of the Census's 1980 Summary Tape File 4. The Chicago SMSA is the study area, The method employed to measure residential segregation is the index of dissimilarity.
