Suburbanization and Dispersion: a Study of Cincinnati's Jewish Population
Abstract
This paper, using Cincinnati as a case study, seeks to measure in more precise fashion than has been possible in previous research the impact of suburbanization on the spatial distribution of the Jewish population. More specifically, we will attempt to answer the following three sets of questions. First, what has been the pace of Jewish suburbanization? Has Jewish suburbanization occurred within a clearly defined sector of the metropolitan area? Second, what have been the patterns of movements within the metropolitan area? Has there been a tendency for Jewish families moving from identifiably Jewish communities within the city to recluster in particular suburban communities? Third, to what extent has there been a shift in the mean center of the Jewish population since 1973? To what extent has suburbanization of the Jewish population been accompanied by an increase in its spatial dispersion and a decrease in the density of Jews?
