Sumario:Part of a special section on urban policy devolution in the Americas with regard to downsizing, abdication, and metropolitan destinies. A study was conducted to examine the distribution of employment opportunities in Cleveland, Ohio, with regard to neighborhood and race. Date were drawn from U.S. census data of Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, and Lorain County, Ohio. The results reveal that job opportunities within neighborhoods do not vary much with regard to neighborhood income level or metropolitan location; low- and moderate-income African-American neighborhoods, however, endure fewer opportunities than do comparable white neighborhoods.
