Abstract
Using the techniques, methods, and procedure employed by Bossard in his residential propinquity study of Philadelphia in 1931, three hundred consecutive marriage licenses in which one or both applicants were residents of Duluth, Minnesota, were tabulated according to distance between the residences of the couples. One-fifth of all the couples lived within five or less blocks of each other. The percentage of marriages decreased as the distance between residences increased; the rate of decrease was less than Bossard found. The over-all finding, however, corroborate Bossard's conviction that residential propinquity is a factor of marriage selection.
