Abstract
Intrametropolitan population distribution refers to the distribution of population within one or more metropolitan areas. A metropolitan area is a city and its surrounding suburbs. Scholarly attention on intrametropolitan population distribution has examined overall population distribution but has more often focused on the relative distributions of population subgroups. Important subtopics of intrametropolitan population distribution are studies of segregation between race, ethnic, and socioeconomic status groups. Migration is a key mechanism of change of the intrametropolitan population distribution.
