ByJOHNCUNNIFF AP Business Analyst NEW YORK A According to mayors of some of the nation's biggest and oldest cities, one of the greatest populations shifts in recent years has been the return of families and individuals to the city. The mayors sought and received a lot of attention in promoting this notion, and many of them truly believed it themselves, even when the Census Bureau came up with some disagreeably negative information.

The census people found that population decreased in many of these major cities, bringing immediate condemnation from the mayors and creating a furor that may be decided as much'by courts as calculators. Meanwhile, John Goodman, a researcher with the Urban Institute, had been doing his own studies, for which he received no publicity from the mayors. According to him, the urban immigration is a myth. No issue straddling for Goodman. He found out enough about the subject to report in the publication American Demographics that a i is the demographic misnomer of the decade." For everyone who moved into a central city during the 1970s, nearly two left, he states, adding his opinion that rates of movement from the cities may continue to increase during the decade of the 1980s.

What actually occurred, he contends, is that people did move back into certain neighborhoods of downtown areas, refurbishing and revitalizing them and generating a lot of attention, and praise and dam- nation-loo. They were praised, of course, for cleaning up, for adding to the tax base, for creating what many perceived to be a desirable way of life. They were sometimes damned for displacing the local residents. Why does he suspect a continuation of the trend out from the cities? For one thing, he says, those who have the money usually want to own a home, and most opportunities are still in the suburbs. Some special characteristics of the population also lend credence to his thesis.

We now have, for example, the coming of age of the post-World War II baby boom. They are now into the homebuying age categories. In addition, he suggests, many women have remained childless to an older age than in previous generations. But, if they finally do become parents, "as most will, if current indications hold true," the suburbs may become more attractive to them than the urban neighborhood. a contentions won't end the argument, but they do offer some enlightenment about the perplexing problem of where all the people went.

Our pollsters found that despite widespread publicity and controversy surrounding the 1980 people-counting effort, young people were left knowing little about the census. The very people who will have to cope with tomorrow's population problems, for example, have almost no idea how many people share space in the United States. Only 14 percent of the teens we questioned could even come close to guessing the country's present population, although any figure from 200 million to 250 million was considered correct.

Fifty-nine percent knew that the U.S. census is taken mm PJMMI mil though Eastern teens did slightly better than those from other parts of the country. Even among eastern teens, however, only 19 percent correctly answered at least three questions. It should be noted that for several of the questions, substantial numbers of teenagers refused even to guess at the correct answer. This was especially true of the question about when the first U.S.

census was taken 54 percent of the teens simply said they did not know the answer. Today's findings are based on 1,003 telephone interviews with a representative cross- section of teen-agers, ages 13 to 18, conducted in May.
