The 1975-1980 migration stream and net migration patterns of persons younger than 65 and 65 + were examined using data from the 1980 U.S. Census. Central cities and suburbs of metropolitan areas (SMSAs) and nonmetropolitan areas (NonSMSAs) were distinguished as origins and destinations. Most elderly movers relocated within a fairly limited geographic context and revealed strong preferences for metropolitan living. Suburban locations were more favored than central city locations. Net migration findings may provide misleading interpretations of older movers' locational choices. The migration patterns of the 65 + population were similar to those of the 45- to 64-year-old population but differed from those of the more youthful U.S. populations. These findings highlight migration streams of elderly movers who likely have experienced changed in their life styles or personal resources.
利用1980年美国人口普查数据，对1975 - 1980年65岁及以下和65岁以上人群的迁移流和净迁移模式进行了研究。大都市区（SMSAs）的中心城市和郊区以及非大都市区（NonSMSAs）被区分为迁出地和迁入地。大多数老年迁移者在相当有限的地理范围内重新安置，并表现出对大都市生活的强烈偏好。郊区比中心城市更受青睐。净迁移结果可能会对老年迁移者的选址选择产生误导性解释。65岁及以上人群的迁移模式与45至64岁人群的迁移模式相似，但与更年轻的美国人群不同。这些发现突出了老年迁移者的迁移流，他们可能在生活方式或个人资源方面经历了变化。
