The City of Flint, Michigan, the location of the Alternative Enumeration (AE), experienced a demographic shift from the 1970’s through the 1980’s. The racial composition of the city has been changing from White to Black, principally due to massive White flight away from the city. The total population of the city decreased by 17.4 percent, going from 193,317 persons in 1970 to 159,611 in 1980 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1970, 1980). As the total population declined, the Black population increased from 54,237 persons in 1970 to 66,124 in 1980. By 1990, the number of Blacks had increased to 67,485. The White population declined from 138,065 in 1970 to 69,788 in 1990 (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1991). The Black population in Flint has remained highly segregated over the years (Collier 1990, Darden 1992). A report completed by the University of Michigan-Flint Project for Urban and Regional Affairs entitled “Home Mortgage Lending Patterns in Genesee County from 1981 to 1986" found that persons in areas with a high percentage of minority residents received fewer home mortgages, especially since 1984, even when the number of housing units and the median income of the tract are taken into account (Hurley, 1988). The index of segregation for 1990 for the City of Flint was 75.9 percent, the second highest for central cities within Michigan (Darden 1992).
