Elderly Local Mobility

An Examination of Determinants Derived from the Literature

Jack Carter

University of New Orleans

The literature in the area of elderly local mobility is relatively sparse, and the empirical studies are mostly period-based, "social characteristics"-oriented descriptive studies. This article develops hypotheses regarding the relationships of mover characteristics, described repeatedly in the literature, and elderly local mobility rates. These hypotheses are tested using 1940-1980 U.S. Census public use sample microdata files, which make it possible to examine these relationships within periods, age groups, and period-of-birth cohorts. A major purpose of this article is to demonstrate the usefulness of longitudinal and cohort approaches.
