      abstract = {In the period 1965-95, Black migration from the  nonmetropolitan (rural and small-town) South to places in  the North and West declined significantly, shifting instead  mostly to the metropolitan South.  This outmovement, in  turn, became offset by migration of Blacks into (or back  to) rural districts from metropolitan areas.  Net  population loss is still evident in areas of the western  nonmetropolitan South that have significant proportions of  Blacks, but not in the eastern South.  Migration lowered  the education level of the nonmetropolitan Black population  somewhat by a net loss of college graduates and a net  inflow of persons who had not finished high school.   Poverty rates of Blacks coming into the nonmetropolitan  South were as high as those of the nonmigrant population,  indicating no general income benefit from the urban inflow.  },
