Abstract
This chapter provides a broad historical overview of relocation trends in the United States in order to illustrate the geographic and historical nature of household mobility in America, pointing to how relocation informs, and is informed by, American culture in various times and spaces. In a contemporary context, this descriptive chapter also explores some of the reasons researchers have hypothesized for the decades-long decline in American household mobility. Drawing on aggregate data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), overall trends in household mobility are documented, with some emphasis on household mobility during the Great Recession.
