• W808355489 abstract "Migration to the Western United States is among the most significant changes taking place among American Jews. The last half century has seen a dispersion of Jewish population throughout the United States away from its traditional concentration in the Northeast and the East North Central states. In the half century between 1937 and 1987, the proportion of Jews living in the Northeast dropped from over two-thirds (70%) to just over half (53%) (Kosmin, Ritterband and Scheckner, 1987). The East North Central region also lost Jewish population, falling from 13% to 9% of the Jewish population. The Western United States has been a beneficiary of this migration. During the last fifty years, the Jewish population of the Pacific and Mountain States (Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada) grew from 5 to 17% of the Jewish population. It is possibly even higher because several western Jewish communities such as Orange County and San Diego, California, which have experienced considerable growth in the last decade, have not conducted Jewish population studies and could well be underestimating the size of their Jewish populations. Further, Los Angeles has not conducted a study since 1979 and it is very likely that the Jewish population estimate for the second largest Jewish community in the world is also too small. It is thus conceivable that between one-fifth and one quarter of American Jews will reside in the West by the end of the century. The geographic dispersion of American Jewry has resulted in a greater number of significant Jewish population centers. Kosmin, Ritterband and Scheckner have calculated that in 1937, 90% of the American Jewish population was found in 17 metropolitan areas. By 1986,30 metropolitan areas were needed to make up 90% of the American Jewish population (Kosmin, Ritterband and Scheckner, 1987). The western migration has produced new communities with significant Jewish populations. Houston, Dallas, San Diego and Orange county have populations that are as large or larger than such Big Sixteen Jewish communities as Oeveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Minneapolis. Jewish regional concentration has been a persistent feature of American Jewry. What does this migration mean for American Jews? There are several structural reasons to assume that Jewish communities in the West will be less cohesive and will be Jewishly weaker than those in areas of historical Jewish settlement: Selective migration of more marginal Jews, a general environment which is religiously weak, and Jewish environment which is communally weak. The leading students of American Jewish demography have consistently maintained that Jews with the weakest attachments to family and community are the most likely to migrate (Cohen, 1983; Goldstein, 1981, 1982)." @default.
