Based on aggregate data, during the 1970s racial segregation decreased in most U.S. SMSAs. Using census tract data, this study employs the Index of Dissimilarity, noting the limitations of the methods and the variations in different parts of the country, particularly the South. Although reduced segregation levels in younger SMSAs may reflect recent social trends, it is not clear from these findings that greater interracial contact and social assimilation have resulted from these trends.
