“...the lives of middle-class and lower-class blacks are increasingly dissimilar. Those moving to the suburbs are not single-parent, low-income welfare families. They predominantly are middle-class, married-couple families. Black married-couple families, by 1990, had 84 percent of the income of white married-couple families...By comparison, over two-thirds of black female-headed families were below the poverty level. / In 1990 families headed by younger college-educated blacks had 92 percent of income parity with whites. These latter young families represent the blacks most likely to move to the suburbs.” (137)
