Abstract
Differences in the provision of recreation services are analyzed in terms of neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics which reflect distributive weights, rates of use of services, and costs. Income, race, age, population density, juvenile delinquency rate, and population change are included in multiple regressions to explain service levels. While the study concentrates upon 1968–1969, analysis of earlier periods shows how past changes in neighborhood demographic characteristics have affected the present service distribution. The results indicate that, in contradiction to the pessimistic assertions of several economists, it is feasible to study the distribution of urban government services.
