    Interstate migration distance is influenced by location characteristics, not individual traits. This suggests migration distance reflects psychic costs and information, aligning with a cost-benefit perspective.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Economics
    • Geography

    Background:

    • Understanding factors influencing migration distance is crucial for regional planning and economic development.
    • Previous research has explored individual and location-based determinants of migration patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the determinants of interstate migration distance in the United States between 1975-1980.
    • To investigate the relationship between migrant characteristics, location attributes, and migration distances.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized individual records from the 1980 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) files.
    • Sample restricted to nonblack, noninstitutionalized heads of households aged 25-64 in 1980.

  • Findings support the role of psychic costs and information in migration distance.

    • Conclusions:

    • Migration distance is best explained by location-specific factors and a cost-benefit analysis.
    • The study provides evidence for the importance of information and perceived costs in migration decisions.
