Housing Successions Among Blacks and Whites in Cities and Suburbs

Written by:
Report Number P23-101

This report analyzes the trends in housing successions among Blacks and Whites by examining annual housing successions and identifying the incidence of Black-to-White and White-to-Black housing turnovers in cities and suburbs.

The report notes the post World War II trend towards an increasing percent Black in large cities and general deterioration of the income positions of cities relative to their suburbs, but notes that recent indicators show the potential for halting or even reversing these trends.

Tables present data on the incidence of racial successions in housing units, selected characteristics of households vacating a housing unit and the households that replace them, and the distribution of annual housing successions. A chart depicting the median income of households involved in Black to White housing successions is also included.

A Note on Language

Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
