This study examines the attitudes of a sample of 640 white adults living in the greater Detroit Metropolitan area towards neighbors and blacks. In particular, the study measured the reaction of the respondent to blacks who might move into the neighborhood, black children who might play with the respondent's child, and blacks who work at the same job as the respondent. The study also assessed the current neighborhood situation with respect to the dominant socio-economic patterns. Demographic information are also included.
