“…That venture—an ambitious investigation of the issues connected with building a combined economic/demographic model—was Andy’s project as an American Statistical Association/National Science Foundation/Census Fellow. Among the publications reporting on the results of that project was a book Andy edited, Population Change and the Economy: Social Science Theories and Models (Isserman 1986) and, on the migration component on which we primarily worked, an article in the Journal of the American Statistical Association titled: “Forecasting Interstate Migration with Limited Data: A Demographic Economic Approach” (Isserman et al 1985). A 1982 article reviewing the then extant sources of federal migration data (Isserman, Plane, and McMillen 1982) would rank among Andy’s most well-cited works.…”

The Hoover Index is the most widely used measure for assessing the concentration or deconcentration tendencies of a country’s evolving population distribution. In this article, the authors propose alternative variants of the index designed to explore the influences of the various demographic components of change (birth, deaths, net domestic, and net international migration) on settlement dynamics. These decompositions can also be applied to examine the differential contributions of various race and ethnicity groups to overall trends. Using U.S. Census Bureau county population estimates, the authors deploy their approaches to examine the nature of deconcentration trends evidenced for the decadal periods 1990–1999 and 2000–2009.
