This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the correlates and consequences of residential relocation. Drawing on multiple nationally representative data sets, the book explores historic patterns and current trends in household mobility; individuals’ mobility-related decisions; and the individual, family, and community outcomes associated with moving. These sections inform later discussions of mobility-related policy, practice, and directions for future research.

Brian Joseph Gillespie is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Sonoma State University, USA. He has published research in a variety of social science journals on topics related to family, the life course, and interpersonal relationships using quantitative and qualitative methods.
