  1. Mobility Rates in Making Connections Survey Communities, Five Years Later Kate Bachtell, Ph.D. Catherine Haggerty Becki Curtis

  2. Background: Mobility & Child Wellbeing among Families with Children Residential mobility impacts economic and social well-being • “Disrupts root systems” (Putnam, 1995) • Often coincides with union formation/dissolution among parents (e.g. South et al., 1998) • “Typically serves to reproduce urban inequality instead of disrupting it” (Sharkey, 2012)

  5. Data

  6. Data Collection Phases Wave 2 Wave 3 Baseline 2009-2014 ACS Wave 1 RDD

  7. Current Objectives • Revisit findings related to residential mobility from the Making Connections Survey • Provide an update on trends roughly five years following the completion of the baseline survey

  8. Analysis • Created comparison tables using geographic mobility data at the national, state, Census place & Census tract levels, from the 2014 American Community Survey • Calculated geographic mobility counts for MC neighborhoods by aggregating area weighted, tract level data • Created thematic maps showing the mobility rate by Census tract and highlighting those tracts that have a higher rate of geographic mobility than that of their surrounding Census designated place (city)

  9. Findings: Summary • 7-site average mobility rate = 23% (vs. 15% nationally) • In 5 out of 7 sites, the mobility rate of the MC neighborhood > respective rate for surrounding city* • MC Des Moines = highly mobile neighborhood in a fairly mobile city • MCLouisville = highly mobile neighborhood in a very stable city • In San Antonio and White Center, the mobility rates of MC neighborhood < the respective rates for surrounding city
