Description

An analysis of age-specific, net migration during the 1990s reveals extensive shifts in migration patterns as Americans move through different life-cycle stages. Identifies the types of non-metro counties that are likely to experience the greatest surge in baby boom migration during 2000-20 and projects the likely impact on the size and dist’n. of retirement-age pop’s. in dest’n. counties. The analysis finds a significant increase in the propensity to migrate to non-metro counties as people reach their 50’s and 60’s and projects a shift in migration among boomers toward more isolated settings, esp. those with high natural and urban amenities and lower housing costs. The non-metro pop’n. age 55-75 will likely increase by 30% between now and 2020. Ill.
