摘要

These reports examine the use of 1980 decennial census data for national urban policy research, specifically in the areas of community development and neighborhood analysis, employment and urban development policy, and racial discrimination and housing policy. An introductory report is designed to assist HUD in determining the best use of 1980 census data in preparation for future policy reports and research efforts. It discusses the design of the 1980 census, the controversy surrounding this census regarding the alleged undercount for urban policy research, and the use of simple census statistics and the potential for developing new forms of summary data. Included are suggestions for improved data products, as well as improved technical assistance to enhance the ability of users to access and manipulate the census data. The report on the use of 1980 census data for community development and neighborhood revitalization policy research examines the spatial interactions of people, places, jobs, housing, and public services and illustrates the difficulties of designing effective neighborhood revitalization or community development policies. It identifies three areas that are best suited from census - based research: housing price dynamics, household mobility, and community development policy and housing investment. The report on urban development discusses how the 1980 census can be used to better understand recent growth trends and to develop improved policy and examines the 1980 census data's strengths and weaknesses for analyzing population and employment changes. It outlines descriptive analyses of population and employment changes that can be done using the census and suggests research into the impact of local macroeconomic conditions on the poverty population and the role of migration, the impact of the energy crisis on journey - to - work patterns, and nonmetropolitan growth and change. The report concludes that the census is best as a source of information on population changes within a given area, on the basic demographic background of residents, and on their current employment. It has limitations as a source of information on employment within an area, job skills of residents, and geographic mobility. The final paper explains the research questions that arise in studying prejudice and discriminaton in housing, reviews the strengths and limitations of census data in answering these questions, and discusses the application of census - based research to key policy questions concerning prejudice and discrimination in housing. The reports contain either references or footnotes, as well as tables.
