Packing Up!
In 2006, 39.8 million United States residents moved within the previous one-year period. Nearly half of the reasons given for moving (18.4 million) were housing related, such as wanting a bigger or smaller house. In 2006, nearly one-third (30 percent) of all people living in renter-occupied housing units lived elsewhere a year earlier. Most movers stayed within the same county (62 percent), while 20 percent moved from a different county within the same state. Find these facts and more in Geographical Mobility: 2006.
