Annotation | This article is an examination of the influence of birthplace on the internal migration and spatial redistribution patterns of older immigrant and native-born populations in the United States (US) during 1950 to 1990. Using data drawn largely from the US Census Bureau's published and unpublished records and from various Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) files of the Censuses of Population, the following issues are examined: the regional age compositions and geographies of older immigrant and native-born populations over the past several decades; the demographic sources of growth that shaped those age compositions and geographies; the inter-regional migration patterns of older immigrant populations and how they have differed from those of older native-born populations; and whether recent inter-regional migration patterns of immigrant and native-born persons are likely to generate increased or decreased regional concentrations of their respective populations.
