A cross-tabulation showing the geographical mobility of individuals (whether they moved within the last year and how far) categorized by their age group.
Reveals how mobility patterns vary across different life stages (e.g., young adults are often highly mobile, families with children are less so, and retirees move to specific areas). This influences demand for age-specific services related to relocation.
Specific Relevance for Professionals:
Marketers
Enables precise targeting for products and services related to life transitions (e.g., college-aged movers for apartment furnishings, young families moving for new school districts, seniors moving for retirement communities).
Researchers
Fundamental for studying life-cycle migration patterns, the causes of mobility at different ages, and the impact of age-specific migration on communities.
Consultants
Useful for advising clients in the real estate, relocation, and senior living industries on market potential based on age-specific mobility trends in target regions.
Public Policy Workers
Important for planning age-specific services (e.g., school capacity, senior support), understanding labor force mobility at different ages, and addressing housing needs across various life stages.
