title: Residential mobility differences among developed countries.
abstract: "Micro-level theories of why households change residence contrast with macro-level approaches that relate the level of spatial mobility to development.  This article compares the rate of residential mobility in 16 [developed] countries or other areas and examines both regional variations within countries and changes in rates of local and nonlocal moving.  Hypotheses that explain why countries differ in rates of residential mobility are examined."
