Nonwhite Migrants to and from Selected Cities

A comparison of the age distributions of nonwhite migrants to and from fifteen cities of over 100,000 population with the age distributions of all migrants to and from these cities enables us to infer several characteristics of the migrants. Nonwhite migrants, more than white migrants, tend to be single persons or childless couples and to be more concentrated in the highly employable ages. Nonwhite out-migrants are more concentrated in the ages from eighteen to twenty-nine than are the nonwhite in-migrants. Out-migrants from cities of over 100,000 population are older than the in-migrants.
