Definición

  • The tipping point hypothesis is a theory that once an urban neighborhood achieves a certain percentage of African American residents—that percentage being the neighborhood's tipping point—white residents will quickly move out in a phenomenon known as “white fight,” and the neighborhood will become entirely or primarily African American. The tipping point hypothesis was first articulated in 1958 by University of Chicago political scientist Morton Grodzins, who predicted that American cities would become increasingly poor and African American, while American suburbs would become increasingly affluent and white.
