Abstract: Abstract.— In a survey of 686 minority group families, there were 97, or 14 pet cent of the total sample, who had tried to move into white neighborhoods. Some of these had been successful, while the efforts of others had been thwarted for various reasons. An analysis of the characteristics of this 14 pet cent shows many interesting social as well as economic traits. The attitude that members of minority groups want to be isolated with their own finds little justification. Of particular interest are the deviations from the total survey group that this 14 per cent revealed.
