Abstract

Intraurban migration theory suggests that locational decisions are a function of housing subsectors, defined by quality, price, location, and tenure. The development of foreign ghettos in German cities is expected to increase if the intraurban migration and emigration-immigration behavior of Germans and foreigners is different among housing subsectors. In D'bsseldorf, five housing subsectors are present. Only the German population indicates differentiation between sectors. Differences in the individual foreigner nationalities are small, and the number of each group resident in a sector is the best indicator of future migration. On the basis of four years of migration data for a typical German city, it is projected that future ghetto formation in West Germany will be slow and hindered by the tight German housing market.
