From the 1940s to the 1980s, about 1 in 5 Americans moved every year. Today, only about 1 in 10 Americans move each year. Moreover, while the largest declines in mobility have been among young adults, this has been the case since the 1980s, which means the recent decline has been a multi-generational shift. In addition, contrary to conventional views, renter mobility has declined precipitously in the past decade, while homeowner mobility rates have trended upward. In this talk, Joint Center research assistant Riordan Frost will discuss a forthcoming working paper that will examine these and other trends.
