Abstract
Recent research in intraurban migration has focused on the behavioral components of migration while the economic constraints on mobility have been played down. A study of a sample of households in the Milwaukee metropolitan region is undertaken to estimate the extent to which the household relocations are influenced by the economic structure of the city. The paper presents evidence that the constraints placed on mobility by the socioeconomic structure of the city can be specified with simplicity and accuracy by examining income and housing cost data alone. Correlation analysis is used to evaluate the extent to which migrants moved between similar economic areas of the city.
