Residential mobility is an important factor that relocates sociological and demographic capital, and it could sometimes lead to significant urban issues.
 A number of studies have focused on residential mobility, but most of them have concentrated on its relationship with household characteristic and they focus on how many people or households move. In other words a number of previous studies simply show who or where residential mobility occur frequently without the notion of characteristics of migration. So the approach provide limited, and often biased views.
