Census findings show a migration reversal from the nation’s urban cores during 1970 to 1975, with major cities losing about 1.6 million residents while the South and West gained. The overall mobility rate eased, with 51.5 percent of Americans five and older changing residence, down from the previous five years. The South’s net gain neared 1.3 million. the West remained around 700,000. Northeast and North Central states saw more leaving than arriving. Larry Long notes the puzzling drop despite higher education, suggesting a built in mobility pattern. Please turn to Page 3.
