?:abstract
  • The United States and Canada are historically two of the most highly mobile populations in the world. Ever-evolving patterns of migration have continually shaped and reshaped demographic, social, and economic dynamics in North America while also being impacted by them. Over time, data describing migration patterns have grown more sophisticated, but a comprehensive theory of migration remains elusive. In this chapter, we utilize rich data from the census and supplemental national surveys to describe historical and contemporary patterns of geographic mobility in North America. In addition, we assess the interaction of the migration processes with broader social dynamics with the aim of pushing forward the theoretical frameworks for understanding geographic mobility. We argue that despite the wide recognition by migration scholars that people move for a variety of reasons, analyses of North American migration patterns have been dominated by economic explanations. In contrast, we describe how major migration and residential mobility patterns through North American history – including westward expansion, urbanization, The Great Migration, regional decentralization, and suburbanization – can be better understood by employing both economic and non-economic explanations.
