Racial Differences in Locational Return to Socioeconomic Resources: The Impact of Rural Versus Urban Residence Presented: Washington, DC, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, August 1995 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Black Studies; Mobility, Social; Racial Differences; Residence; Rural Areas; Rural/Urban Differences; Social Environment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Examines the extent to which blacks receive less locational return for their socioeconomic resources than whites in rural areas. Regression analysis with data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in 1991 (N = 5,777) shows that whites have significantly greater locational quality than blacks in both rural and urban areas, and that blacks and whites have significantly lower locational quality in rural areas than in urban areas. However, the hypothesis that rural blacks receive a lower return in locational quality for their socioeconomic resources than rural whites is not supported. Rather, rural blacks experience a penalty in locational quality relative to rural whites that is independent of socioeconomic resource; part of this penalty is a function of overrepresentation in the nonwhite rural South.
