The swelling populations and sweeping social and economic trans formations which are now working themselves out in Latin America cannot fail to be reflected in those sensitive barometers of change, cities. More than one quarter of the total population now lives in cities of 20,000 or more and the present surge of urban growth shows little sign of having run its course. The traditional pattern of first-city supremacy has intensified rather than weakened with modernization. Despite programs of economic development, urban areas still have a low level of industrialization.

Monterrey, Mexico is a rapidly growing industrial metropolis, about half of whose growth in the last decades is due to net in-migration. A 1965 survey of 1640 men shows that a majority of migrants originate in rural or small urban places. However, size of place in itself is insufficient to identify differences in areas of origin by socioeconomic level, so a classification of zonas (a socioeconomically homogeneous grouping of municípios) is provided and the different circumstances of out-migration from these different areas are described. There is a low conformity to the stage (step) migration model due to the lack of a fully developed urban hierarchy, the unfavorable opportunity structure of intermediate size places, and the fact that migration takes place within a kinship network that favors direct migration.
