Abstract

Michigan was an industrial powerhouse until the onset of deindustrialization in 1970. This paper compares socio‐economic and demographic changes at the neighbourhood level between 1970 and 2019 in two medium‐sized cities/counties in Michigan (Flint/Genesee County and Grand Rapids/Kent County) that underwent deindustrialization. Only 35% of neighbourhoods in the two counties were of the same class in 2019 as in 1970. Middle‐class neighbourhoods declined while poor and upper‐middle class neighbourhoods increased. The contemporary spatial structure of neighbourhoods in these two counties is a mixture of classic concentric ring/sectoral models interspersed with socio‐economic downgrading inner‐ring suburbs identified within other US cities since the 1990s. Michigan fue una potencia industrial hasta el inicio de la desindustrialización en 1970. Este artículo compara los cambios socioeconómicos y demográficos a nivel de barrio entre 1970 y 2019 en dos ciudades de tamaño medio de dos condados de Michigan que sufrieron desindustrialización: Flint, en el condado de Genesee y Grand Rapids, en el condado de Kent. Solo el 35% de los barrios de los dos condados eran de la misma clase en 2019 que en 1970. Los barrios de clase media disminuyeron, mientras que los barrios pobres y de clase media alta aumentaron. La estructura espacial contemporánea de los barrios de estos dos condados es una mezcla de los modelos clásicos de anillos concéntricos/sectoriales entremezclados con suburbios de anillos interiores de degradación socioeconómica identificados en otras ciudades estadounidenses desde la década de 1990. ミシガン州は、1970年に脱工業化が始まるまでは、工業の中心地であった。工業化が進んだミシガン州の二つの中規模都市/郡(フリント/ジェネシー郡とグランドラピッズ/ケント郡)における、1970~2019年の居住区(neighbourhood)レベルでの社会経済的変化と人口統計学的変化を比較した。いずれの郡においても、2019年でも1970年と同等の地区はわずか35%だった。中産階級の地域は減少したが、貧困層や上位中産階級の地域は増加した。これらの2つの郡における現在の居住区の空間構造は、典型的な同心円/セクターモデルと、1990年代以降にアメリカの他の都市内でみられる社会経済的に低迷する内部郊外とが混在するものである。
