Abstract

The focus of this article is on an examination of the influence of birthplace on the internal migration and spatial redistribution patterns of the foreign-born and native-born populations in the United States during the 1975–80 and 1985–90 periods. The analyses presented here consider the following principal questions: 1) What are the internal migration patterns of the foreign-born population in the United States, and how do they differ from those of the native-born population? 2) How do the relocation choices of various birthplace-specific foreign-born and native-born subpopulations differ from each other? 3) Are the internal migration patterns generating an increased or a decreased geographical concentration of such birthplace-specific subgroups?
