Abstract
The study of the dynamic properties of a system of social stratification provides critical structural information on cultural change. Mobility data are particularly useful in the construction of models predicting the structural effects of accelerated change. Data from a small urban setting are incorporated into a stochastic model which yields a structural index of the effects of the introduction of new variables into the system, variables reordering the society and changing its relation to broader levels of sociocultural integration.
