Government census studies show the seven year period 1940 to 1947 produced a mass mobility pattern. About 70 million Americans moved homes, with 25 million changing counties or states. War related factors and housing shortages drove migration alongside family relocation and postwar reconversion.
The Herald notes migration rates by age and veteran status, showing veterans 18 and over moved more and farther than nonveterans. About three in ten veterans did not stay in the same home from 1947 to 1949. Fifty percent of western residents and higher migration rates in youth highlight education level and occupation as mobility factors. Girls aged 14 to 24 leave home more than boys, tied to earlier marriages. Professional workers show the greatest mobility.
