Describe the five basic population groups found within inner-city areas
What will be an ideal response?
The five population groups are cosmopolites—well educated, affluent, and attracted to the area's cultural advantages; the unmarried and childless—they live in the inner city by choice, for convenience and to meet other people; ethnic villagers—they live in neighborhoods with strong ethnic identities and are suspicious of the city as a whole; the trapped—those who cannot afford to leave the inner city; and the deprived—poverty stricken people who see the city as a source of increased opportunities for employment or welfare assistance.
