Dorchester, a significantly smaller percentage of this group (35%) were placed. •47- Ainong registrants from other parts of Boston and from Cambridge, living in neighborhoods with a smaller concen= tration of non-white population, the placement record was about 707o. About the same ratio prevailed for those coming from other towns in the greater Boston area. The families coming from out of state (127o of the registrants) had the highest rate of placement, approxi- mately eight out of every ten ...finding housing in predom- inantly white neighborhoods. It was predictable that Negroes coming from out of state to take jobs acquired before they arrived would have high placement potential. Since the 1950' s a small number of Negro families in similar circumstances had become the pioneers of suburban integration. T'lere xvere several reasons for this: They had a clear need to find housing in the Boston area, and to find that housing quickly. They had no ties to Boston's Negro ghetto. They preferred to live close to their jobs, which were located, for the most part, in the electronics industries developing along the highways circling the suburbs of Boston.
