Abstract
This article examines the relationship between family structure and persisting disadvantage among U.S. blacks. The "article employs data from the 1990 Public Use Microdata Samples to compare the rural African American family to its urban counterpart. Results from the logistic regression analysis reveal that for rural Blacks, family structure is less important than community type and race relative to poverty status. These findings suggest a need for a refinement of the underclass debate." excerptKeywords: Americas; Blacks; Comparative Studies; Cultural Background; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Economic Factors; Ethnic Groups; Family And Household; Family Characteristics; North America; Northern America; Population; Population Characteristics; Poverty; Research Methodology; Rural Population; Socioeconomic Factors; Studies; United States; Urban Population
