Analysis of county level elderly and nonelderly net migration data revealed that, overall, migration was of less importance in explaining changes in elderly population concentration between 1970 and 1980 than it had been in the previous decade. However, because of the spatial restructuring of both elderly and nonelderly migration, the contribution of elderly migration relative to nonelderly migration increased from 1960 to 1980. Recognizable regional variations were apparent. Elderly migration not only remained significant in explaining changes in elderly population concentrations in "traditional" Sunbelt retirement states but also showed increased importance in newly emergent southern retirement states and in several northern states, including a group in New England.
对县级老年和非老年人口净迁移数据的分析表明,总体而言,在解释1970年至1980年老年人口集中度变化方面,迁移的重要性低于前一个十年。然而,由于老年和非老年人口迁移的空间结构调整,从1960年到1980年,老年人口迁移相对于非老年人口迁移的贡献有所增加。明显的区域差异显而易见。老年人口迁移不仅在解释“传统的”阳光地带退休州老年人口集中度变化方面仍然具有重要意义,而且在新出现的南部退休州以及包括新英格兰一组州在内的几个北部州,其重要性也有所增加。
