TL;DR: Data from the urban renewal experience in Syracuse, New York are used to examine the impact of race on patterns of intra-urban migration and show that, overall, the migration patterns exhibited an exponential decay in frequency with increasing distance.
Abstract: Data from the urban renewal experience in Syracuse, New York are used to examine the impact of race on patterns of intra-urban migration. The results show that, overall, the migration patterns exhibited an exponential decay in frequency with increasing distance. Both blacks and whites display this pattern, but blacks tend to cluster more closely around the point of origin. Indirect evidence is developed to show that this phenomenon is due to blacks and whites having different access to information about housing, which ultimately maintains housing segregation.
