Abstract
Analysis of county level elderly and nonelderly net migration data revealed that, overall, migration was of less importance in explaining changes in elderly population concentration between 1970 and 1980 than it had been in the previous decade. However, because of the spatial restructuring of both elderly and nonelderly migration, the contribution of elderly migration relative to nonelderly migration increased from 1960 to 1980. Recognizable regional variations were apparent. Elderly migration not only remained significant in explaining changes in elderly population concentrations in "traditional" Sunbelt retirement states but also showed increased importance in newly emergent southern retirement states and in several northern states, including a group in New England.
