This report reviews patterns in migration within the U.S. over the past thirty years. Internal migration has fallen noticeably since the 1980s, reversing increases from earlier in the century. The decline in migration has been widespread across demographic and socioeconomic groups, as well as for moves of all distances. Although a convincing explanation for the secular decline in migration remains elusive and requires further research, the authors find only limited roles for the housing market contraction and the economic recession in reducing migration recently. Despite its downward trend, migration within the U.S. remains higher than that within most other developed countries. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Shortly after the 1920 census data became available, the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life began preparing a series of maps showing graphically the state-of-birth data for certain native-born elements of the population in a few areas. The interest shown in these maps warranted an expansion of the sample. Thus, as rapidly as available resources permitted, the assembling of census data for the native white population of each state was completed including that for 1930, maps were prepared for a number of the states, and photographic prints of these maps were given a limited circulation. During the winter of 1933-1934, a grant of funds from the Civil Works Administration made possible the preparation of remaining maps. To make these maps more widely available, they were reduced in size and are assembled in this publication.
