When a team of social scientists began the nation’s first study on aged stream migration in the United States last September, they expected to find a “sunbelt phenomenon” with persons over age 60 moving more often into states with temperate climates. They expected California, Arizona, Texas and Florida to share in this picture.
While these states do receive many older migrants, Florida leads the country in the number of elderly incoming migrants, outnumbering second-place California two-and-a-half times and third-place Arizona over five times.

Using information based on a current computer analysis of 1970 census data, UM sociology professor Charles Longino has just released unpublished findings from an ongoing research project funded by the National Institute of Aging. Of the entire population of persons age 60 and above, who in 1970 indicated that they had lived in a different state five years before, 23.5 percent had moved to Florida, 9.5 percent to California, 4.3 percent to Arizona and 4.1 percent to New Jersey.
Florida heavily draws its older immigrants from the industrial midwest eastward. Yet, more than a quarter of age 60-plus newcomers to Florida in 1970 had lived in New York in 1965. New York, which contributed more outmigration of the elderly during this period than any other state, sent nearly half, 47.36 percent, of its out-migrants to one state, Florida.
Dr. Longino said that should the cold winters of the past few years continue, there is no way to measure how this trend may change or continue. The speculation that these fluctuating climatic conditions will accelerate Florida’s migration influx will be tested with 1980 census data.
The research also shows that Florida is the only state that has established a two-way road between three states— New York, Massachusetts and Ohio, with a disproportionate number of older people travelling both ways. Only one other state has established a large two-way stream with a noncontiguous state Continued to Page 5
