Moving Rate Among Americans Declines, Census Bureau SaysAbout 16 percent (43 million) of U.S. residents moved from one home to another between March 1997 and March 1998, a decline from the 16.5 percent who moved during the previous one-year period, according to a report released today by the Commerce Department's Census Bureau."Millions of Americans continue to relocate each year," said Kenneth Prewitt, Census Bureau director. "It is our goal in next year's census to count those on the move, to count them in the right location and to make Census 2000 the most complete and accurate census ever." "In recent years, mobility rates have changed little or not at all and in fact, the overall drop since the 1950s and 1960s has been only around 4 percentage points," said Carol Faber, author of the report Geographical Mobility: March 1997 to March 1998. Other highlights from the report, available on the Internet at www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/migrate.html, include: Data are from the March 1998 Current Population Survey. Statistics from sample surveys are subject to sampling and nonsampling error. www.census.gov
