Abstract: In her analysis using the random utility model, Lisa Barrow compares the location decisions of households with children to those of households without children. She uses the 5% Individual Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) from the 1990 Census to evaluate location patterns in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, restricting attention to individuals who were living in the area from 1985 through 1990. She finds that households with children are disproportionately drawn to areas with relatively high SAT scores. Disproportionate effects are found for whites and African Americans.
