N2 - This article examines the effects of net migration and education on black-to-black, white-to-white, and overall income inequality, using county-level data from the U.S. South for the years 1980 through 1990. Results indicate that net migration has caused overall income inequality to decrease, but had a positive effect on black income inequality. Educational growth is also found to have an equalizing effect on overall inequality. In addition, it is found that the effects of both net migration and education on spatial income disparities vary across Southern county-types.
