Study Notes
Internal Migration Types
- Two main types of internal migration: interregional and intraregional.
Interregional Migration
- Defined as moving from one region of a country to another different region.
- Primarily involves migration from rural to urban areas seeking job opportunities.
- The most notable example in U.S. history is the opening of the American West.
Intraregional Migration
- Refers to movement within the same region of a country.
- Commonly occurs within urban areas, shifting from older cities to newer ones.
- More prevalent than interregional migration globally.
Population Dynamics
- Recent U.S. immigrants are not evenly distributed; approximately half settle in California, Florida, New York, and Texas.
- The current population center of the U.S. is near St. Louis, Missouri, representing the average location of the nation's inhabitants.
Historical Migration Patterns
- Major periods of U.S. interregional migration include:
- Hugging the Coast
- Crossing the Appalachians (1840s)
- Rushing to the Gold (1850 - 1890)
- Filling in the Great Plains (1900 - 1940)
Impact of Economic Conditions
- Interregional migration has slowed down due to the severe recession of 2008-2009, leading to limited job prospects and discouraging people from migrating.
Migration Trends in Developed vs. Developing Countries
- In developing countries, intraregional migration predominantly occurs from rural to urban areas.
- In developed countries, the trend shifts from urban centers to suburban areas.
Counterurbanization
- Defined as net migration from urban areas back to rural areas, particularly in more developed countries.
