Abstract

. Between 1970 and 1980 the Hispanic population of Miami had a phenomenal rate of growth while the Black population also grew rapidly. The non‐Hispanic White population actually experienced a numerical decline. The Hispanic population of the city has been highly successful in improving its economic well‐being and has been able to penetrate deeply into non‐Hispanic White neighborhoods throughout the city. Blacks have not been able to increase their economic well‐being as greatly and their expansion has been confined largely to neighborhoods adjacent to older Black neighborhoods. Non‐Hispanic White neighborhoods shrank considerably in area during the decade and today are mainly found on Miami Beach, in northeast Miami and the far south of the city. If large scale Hispanic migration continues, and the Black population maintains its rate of growth, by 1990 Miami will likely have an even smaller non‐Hispanic White population than today and be ethnically more segregated.
