Abstract: This chapter explores current trends in household mobility by describing correlates of moving and individuals’ reasons for moving, exploring answers to the question, “Who moves and why?” While the research presented in Chap. 2 described household mobility trends in a large, demographic context, this chapter describes sociodemographic variations in household mobility and individuals’ reasons for moving. Drawing on nationally representative data from 2014–2015, household mobility and reasons for moving are explored as they occur differentially across age groups and by social class, race/ethnicity, housing tenure, and other demographic characteristics, such as gender and labor force participation.The primary goal of this chapter is to emphasize the variation in characteristics of movers and their reported reasons for doing so.
