Abstract: This paper makes two important contributions. First, it describes empirical origin dependent migration patterns observed in six national U.S. censuses. Second, it shows how observed regularities in secondary-to-primary ratios in these patterns may be used to indirectly estimate migration propensities from two consecutive counts of age-specific population stocks by place of residence and place of birth. Illustrations using such data for the 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses show that the proposed method works satisfactorily.
