Abstract

Residential mobility is a critical aspect of immigrant incorporation, shaping not only access to schools, jobs and safer neighborhoods, but also influencing long-term prospects for upward mobility and social integration. However, existing research on residential mobility remains limited by data constraints, particularly the lack of sufficiently large samples to track moves among smaller racial and nativity groups. In this work, we address these limitations by using data from the Survey of Income and program Participation (SIPP) from 1996 to 2023 to examine differences in residential mobility patterns across racial and nativity groups.
