The U.S. Census Bureau says Yes! The Bureau measures how often people (ages one year and older) change residences - what they call the "national mover rate" - and in 2009 a greater percentage (12.5%) of us moved than in 2008 (11.9%). Where are people moving? In general, not too far. The Bureau's Geographical Mobility study shows that in 2009 67.3% of all movers stayed within the same county; 17.2% moved to a different county in the same state; 12.6% moved to a different state; and 2.9% moved to the U.S. from abroad. The West, which includes California, had the highest mover rate at 14.8%.
