View Resource

Examines the potential impact that migration from one community to another may have on population health data, in terms of our understanding of how place impacts health status. Looked at moves over one 5-year period, from 1995 to 2000, for selected urban and rural communities, with information on disability status and education. Considered geographic relocation between urban and rural areas, between high-poverty and low-poverty areas, and between North and South.
