Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Urban neighborhood change is a phenomenon that many people take for granted or have viewed as part of a natural cycle (Burgess 1925; Schwirian 1983). Neighborhood change is not simply a matter of racial antipathy or natural population cycles, but active, if constrained, decisions by individuals to stay or leave (Cadwallader 1992). Some research on neighborhood change has highlighted the decision making of movers, but little research has examined the reasons people stay, how they resist change, and how they adapt to change. Using ethnographic interviews and field observations with white �stayers� in a neighborhood that has transitioned from mostly white to mostly African American in a short period of time, I address limitations of past research on neighborhood change by examining the agency of white older stayers, learning about the evolution and nuances of their relationships with their African American neighbors, and providing insight into the way that the neighborhoods meet their needs at this stage of their life. The goal is to better understand the residential life and behaviors of older whites who stay in neighborhoods that have undergone white flight.
