MIGRATION/GEOGRAPHIC MOBILITY

Migration and geographic mobility both refer to the movement of people within
and across boundaries, such as county or state lines. These movements can be
short or long-distance and encompass both domestic (within the U.S.) and
international (between the U.S. and another country) moves.
