Abstract
This article examines the applicability of general migration selectivity principles for elderly movers. Demographic, socioeconomic, and housing characteristics of a 5% sample of elderly (60 years and older) drawn from the 1970 1 in 100 Public Use Sample are compared across distance mover types. Elderly migrants were selected from higher educational and income ranks, but local movers were selected from the more economically dependent strata. Implications of these findings for demographic theory and public policy for elderly programs are drawn.
