    This study introduces a new method to measure the spatial focus of national migration patterns. The coefficient of variation proves effective in analyzing U.S. interstate migration data across different demographics.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Geography
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Measuring the spatial concentration of national migration regimes has lacked a standardized approach.
    • Existing inequality indices have not been fully evaluated for their utility in assessing migration geographies.
    • Understanding migration patterns is crucial for national policy and resource allocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate popular inequality indices as measures of spatial focus in migration.
    • To introduce and apply the coefficient of variation for analyzing U.S. interstate migration.
    • To examine demographic variations and the role of states in redistributing populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of four popular inequality indices.
    • Application of the coefficient of variation to aggregate U.S. interstate migration streams.

  • Disaggregation of migration data by age, race, and nativity.

    • Main Results:

    • The coefficient of variation is proposed as a suitable measure for spatial focus.
    • Analysis reveals temporal changes in the spatial focus of U.S. interstate migration.
    • Significant variations in migration focus were observed across age, race, and nativity groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The coefficient of variation offers a robust method for quantifying migration spatial focus.
    • U.S. states play a dynamic role in redistributing diverse subpopulations.
    • Further research can refine our understanding of migration geographies and their implications.
