In this volume various aspects of the recent increase in migration to nonmetropolitan areas of the United States are analyzed. Part 1 emphasis is on an examination of migrant characteristics including origin destination motivations and decision-making; household changes occurring as a result of migration; and migrant integration at the place of destination. In Part 2 the economic development implications of nonmetropolitan migration are considered and the potential of recent migrants to move again is assessed. In Part 3 characteristics of selected groups of migrants are examined and compared. Data were obtained from surveys of migrants and long-term residents in 75 rapidly growing counties in the North Central region of the United States.
