ERIC ED289767: Artists by Place of Residence

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This report, based on data from the 1980 U.S. Bureau of the Census, examines the geographic locations of artists and summarizes the numbers of artists and their basic characteristics for each state and the major Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA). It also compares 1970 and 1980 populations of employed artists in each state and presents geographic movements of artists from 1975 to 1980, both regionally and into the major SMSAs. The data indicate that artists are concentrated in large metropolitan areas and that New York City and Los Angeles are the major artist centers. Artists average one percent of the U.S. civilian labor force, or 1 out of every 96 workers in the United States. Thirty percent live in California or New York compared to 18 percent of the general U.S. population. California ranks first in artist population, a position held by New York in 1970. Artists continue to move to the western and southern regions of the United States, shown in the increased migration figures from 1975 to 1980.

Fifteen data tables are included. Appendices which make up the bulk of the report provide: (1) migration data by U.S. census geographic division, 1975-1980; (2) summary data on artists’ residences for the states and principal SMSAs, 1980; and (3) artists’ occupations and industrial classifications for the states and SMSAs.
