title: Age-specific migration and regional diversity.
abstract: "This author examines patterns of age-specific migration between 1980 and 1990 for a small, growing region, the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.A., with the purpose of assessing the degree of geographic diversity in experience.  A simple typology of the expected spatial and structural pattern of age-specific migration is proposed.  Cluster analysis is used to group counties on the basis of age-specific rates of net migration.  Even this fairly small region is found to exemplify most of the patterns that might be expected to occur in the nation as a whole."
