Abstract

This Study demonstrates that the residents of a middle-sized city generally establish and maintain intimate relationships with other urbanites. These intimate relationship are both locality-centered and spatially diffuse. While locality-centered intimacy is found in high socioeconomic areas, residents of low socioeconomic areas report that neighbors are their most frequent source of friends. This anomaly may be explained, in part, by the fact that intracity mobility is greater and carried on over a larger territory among lower socioeconomic groupings. Hence, intimacy within these groups, although established on the basis of residential propinquity, is spatially diffuse.
