Farley, Reynolds and Frey, William H., "Changes in the Segregation of Whites from Blacks During the 1980s: Small Steps Toward a More Integrated Society," American Sociological Review, 59 (February, 1994), 23-45.

Abstract:

Residential segregation between blacks and whites persists, but it declined in the 1970s and 1980s. Also, most whites endorse the principle of equal housing opportunity. The largest percentage decreases in segregation between 1980 and 1990 occurred in young, southern and western metropolitan areas with significant recent housing construction.

1972-1990
