INCIDENTAL FINDINGS ON URBAN INVASION.

The article offers information on observations made in a neighborhood survey in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with regard to a variant of the traditional process of intra-urban invasion. The population was relatively homogeneous, predominantly Irish-Catholic. It is reported that there has been an influx of African Americans into the area since the World War II. The influx seems not to be following the traditional pattern. It rather appeared to be leap-frogging over white areas to establish minor Black districts in deteriorating external areas. The survey found that the invaders did not think about the influx in temporary terms.
