The unit of analysis is population aggregates--counties in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA) of the contiguous US. The frame of reference is applicable to an analysis of social & economic conditions that stimulate or retard migration to or from an area. The basic goal is to test the level of AFDC payment per family in an analysis scheme including "pull" factors which are most applicable to nonwhite migration to metropolitan counties. The dependent variable is the 1950-60 net migration rate for nonwhites aged 25-29. AFDC payment levels are measured by the average county payment per family in 1960. Superior opportunities for employment, the opportunity to earn a larger income, & the relative gap between nonwhite & white income levels are all shown to be important attracting forces. A description of the total sample (185 SMSA counties), & subsamples is given as well as the means & standard deviations for each sample & subsample, & zero-order correlations. AFDC is a significant factor in nonwhite net in-migration to larger but not smaller northern & western cities, & not important in nonwhite migration to southern cities where employment opportunities & wages are more important. Once the decision is made to migrate, the area of destination is more likely to be a city which offers greater opportunities. Consequently, migration tends to be to large cities in states which coincidentally provide higher AFDC benefits. The weight of the evidence from both aggregate & individual field study rejects the thesis that differential level of welfare payment is a direct cause of nonwhite migration to cities. 5 Tables. S.
