Internal Migration Patterns for US Foreign-Born, 1985-1990

Abstract

In all US states, new arrivals of immigrants are fuelling the growth of the foreign‐born population. For a few states, though, the most recent immigrants do not arrive from abroad; many come from other parts of the US, resettling after their initial arrival. Very little information has previously been available on the number or characteristics of foreign‐born persons who migrate within the US. Using 1990 census data, this paper calculates the flow volume between states and from abroad; also, a multinomial logistic regression model of destination choice is estimated for resettlers and for migrants from abroad. There are three major findings. Firstly, Florida and California are the largest recipients of foreign‐born resettlers; New York is the biggest loser of secondary migrants. Secondly, the presence of large communities of Mexicans in California and Cubans in Florida are very attractive to both resettlers and migrants from abroad. Thirdly, immigrants that are most in need of ethnic support networks (i.e. new arrivals or immigrants with low human capital resources) are most likely to choose one of the traditional immigration states as a destination. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Subsequent Migration of Immigrants Within Australia, 1981–2016

“…Chinese-born). Similar to previous studies focusing on the United States and Canada, we found that subsequent migration is an important aspect of the immigrant settlement process but that it works in different ways depending on the country or region of origin (Newbold 1999; Nogle 1997; Reher and Silvestre 2009). Future research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying these differences.…”

Per capita income convergence and internal migration in Spain: Are foreign‐born migrants playing an important role?

“…On the whole, the preference patterns of the foreign‐born residents seem to be more complex spatially, net migration rates generally being much higher for them than for natives. Consequently, the data in Spain seem to be consistent with studies elsewhere indicating that foreign‐born and native‐born populations differ in their migration patterns (Belanger and Rogers 1992; Kritz and Nogle 1994; Nogle 1997; Gurak and Kritz 2000). For instance, Gurak and Kritz (2000) concluded that foreign‐born United States residents are less inclined to leave states with high levels of development and economic growth than natives, a result that seems to be confirmed in Spain.…”

City Centric Migration and Security Concern in Nepal

“…Thus people change house much more often than they change the district in which they live; and they change the region, or country, or continent that they live in much less often still. Nogle (1997) affirms that in all US states, new arrivals of immigrants are fuelling the growth of the foreign-born population. For a few states, though, the most recent immigrants do not arrive from abroad; many come from other parts of the US, resettling after their initial arrival.…”
