title: Percentage of lifetime spent in area of residence at time of death.
abstract: A nationwide study by random-digit-dialing telephone interviews was used to estimate f, the average percentage of people's lifetimes, f, spent within 25 miles of their residence at time of death. The result is f approximately 70%, much larger than expected from census data on migration. Except for deaths in Florida, California, and Arizona, f greater than 50% in all areas of the United States. For over half the U.S. population, f greater than 90%.
