Abstract: This study examines the relationship between inequality in motion and inequality in place. It is argued that the aggregate effects of household migration have an impact on communities that is more substantial than commonly recognized. Of particular interest, here, is the association between income dispersion in place, as manifest in local income inequality and segregated residential patterns, and income dispersion between places, affected by income inequality within the population of domestically migrating households. This first chapter introduces two questions concerning household mobility and migration. First, to what extent are the household and structural conditions that affect migration differentiated on the basis of social class? Migration research, as it is largely concerned with the question of why people move, has tended to approach group difference in terms of the individual or household characteristics that distinguish migrants from nonmigrants. In contrast, the primary question addressed here is less concerned with why people move . . .
