Abstract

Residential mobility denotes the relatively local-scale relocation of individuals and households from 1 usual residence to another. Everyone has some experience of residential mobility, be it directly through personal memories of moving or more broadly through witnessing the effects that population movements have on one's neighborhood and local area. As it is difficult to precisely define residential mobility and in particular how it differs from migration, residential mobility research commonly draws on numerous theoretical traditions, including early migration models as well as more recent life cycle and life course approaches. Residential mobility also has significant geographical dimensions in terms of the directionality of moves, in addition to the close links between moving behavior and processes of neighborhood and urban change.
