Residential Projections of Northeast Alabama Youth: A Historical Comparison.

Composed entirely of statistical tables, this report documents historical change in the residential projections of Northeast Alabama youth. Comparing 1968 data with 1972 data, tabulations are presented by race (black and white), sex, and place of residence (large city, small city, town and village, open country nonfarm and farm) for the following orientational dimensions: (1) residential aspirations; (2) residential expectations; (3) residential goal deflection (rural to urban and urban to rural, intraurban, and intrarural); (4) intensity of residential aspirations (rank importance on a 1 to 7 scale); and (5) certainty of residential expectations (very sure, sure, not very sure, uncertain, very uncertain). Tabular summaries are presented for each of the five dimensions by race, sex, and place of residence. (JC)
