Most quantitative research on segregation and neighborhood change in American cities prior to 1940 has utilized data published by the Census Bureau at the ward level. The transcription of census manuscripts has made it possible to aggregate individual records to a finer level, the enumeration district (ED). Advances in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have facilitated mapping these data, opening new possibilities for historical GIS research. We report here the creation of a mapped public use data set for EDs in ten northern cities for each decade from 1900 to 1930. We illustrate a range of research topics that can now be pursued: recruitment into ethnic neighborhoods, the effects of comprehensive zoning on neighborhood change, and white flight from black neighbors.

北方城市的隔离和邻里变化：1900-1930 年的新历史 GIS 数据。


大多数关于 1940 年之前美国城市隔离和社区变化的定量研究都利用了人口普查局在区一级发布的数据。人口普查手稿的抄录使得将个人记录汇总到更精细的水平（即普查区 (ED)）成为可能。地理信息系统 (GIS) 的进步促进了这些数据的绘制，为历史 GIS 研究开辟了新的可能性。我们在这里报告了从 1900 年到 1930 年每十年为 10 个北方城市的教育局创建的公共使用地图数据集。我们说明了现在可以进行的一系列研究主题：少数民族社区的招募、综合分区对社区变化，白人逃离黑人邻居。
