The rate of return migration to the South rose by nearly 19 percent between the late 1950's and the late 1960's and was an important factor in changing the South's overall migration pattern. But an increase in the rate of return migration was somewhat less important in changing Southern migration than (1) a decline in the rate of out-migration of native Southerners and (2) an increase in the rate at which non-Southern-born persons move to the South. The probability of former migrants returning to the South was over four times greater for whites than for blacks in the 1955-1960 period and three and one-fourth times greater in the 1965-1970 period. Since 1970 the rate of return migration has apparently continued to rise at a faster rate for blacks, but the black rate of return migration is still below the white rate.
20世纪50年代末至60年代末，返回南方的回迁率上升了近19%，这是改变南方整体移民模式的一个重要因素。但是，回迁率的上升在改变南方移民情况方面，其重要性略低于以下两点：（1）南方本地人外迁率的下降；（2）非南方出生的人迁往南方的比率的上升。在1955年至1960年期间，以前移民返回南方的概率，白人比黑人高出四倍多；在1965年至1970年期间，白人比黑人高出三倍多。自1970年以来，黑人的回迁率显然继续以更快的速度上升，但黑人的回迁率仍低于白人。
