head explains the greatest amount of variation in migration.
Migrants, as compared with non-migrants are more likely to
be younger, better educated, poorer, non-home owners, and
have larger families. The analysis of data also indicate
that neighborhood considerations were the primary reasons
for migrations from previous neighborhoods, while housing
concerns were the primary reasons for the selection of
present neighborhoods. These findings suggest that in the
selection of their present neighborhood, the migrants failed
to correct the problems that they encountered with their
previous neighborhoods, since their present neighborhood
dissatisfaction is also related to neighborhood considerations,
The findings generated by this study suggests that the
primary motivation for migration has shifted from spatial
needs to economic concerns. Migration is greatest among
young household heads with relatively high educations and
low incomes. The finding that age explains more variation
in migration than family size might indicate that future
migration research focus less on family spatial needs and
more on socio-economic factors.
