Abstract
Available census materials permit at least a limited investigation of the extent to which family composition is of significance in black residential succession. Census tracts in Chicago were classified by stage of residential succession, and households within these tracts were classified by age of head and presence of wife, children and other relatives of head. It appears that black younger families and those with children lead the way in black penetration, while white older families and those with children lead the white exodus. There is also evidence of some stability of family-type composition in areas undergoing racial transition. The latter may be traced to the characteristics of housing in these areas.
