Abstract

In this paper we examine conceptual methodological and practical issues associated with measuring the sex ratio in comparative research. We give particular attention to measuring sex ratios for the black population. Census data are used to develop empirical measures for U.S. metropolitan areas and nonmetropolitan areas of Louisiana.... The impact of the sex ratio on community-level variation in marriage patterns and family formation for the black population is addressed. (EXCERPT)
