INTRAREGIONAL MIGRATION IN US
Although interregional migration attracts considerable attention, far more people move within the same region, which is intraregional migration. Since 1800, the most prominent type of intraregional migration in the world has been from rural to urban areas. Less the 5% of the world’s people lived in urban areas in 1800, compared to nearly half today.
Migration from Rural to Urban Areas
Urbanization began in the 1800s in the countries of Europe and North America, which were undergoing rapid industrial development. Migration from rural to urban areas has skyrocketed in recent years in less developed countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Studies conducted in a variety of less developed countries show that migration from rural areas accounts for nearly half of the population growth increase in urban areas. Worldwide, more than 20 million people are estimated to migrate each year from rural to urban areas.
Like interregional migrants, most people who move from rural to urban areas seek economic development. They are pushed from rural areas by declining opportunities in agriculture and pulled to the cities by prospect of work in factories or in service industries.
Migration from Urban to Suburban Areas
In most developed countries, most intraregional migration is from central cities out to suburbs. Twice as many Americans migrate from central cities to suburbs each year than migrate from suburbs to central cities. Comparable rates of suburbanization are found in Canada, United Kingdom, and other Western European countries.
The major reason for the large-scale migration to the suburbs is not related to employment, as was the case with other forms of migration. For most people, migration to suburbs does not coincide with changing jobs. Instead, people are pulled by a suburban lifestyle (detached house, private yard, garage or driveway, better schools, etc.)
Migration from Metropolitan to Nonmetropolitan Areas
During the late 20th century, the more developed countries of North America and Western Europe developed a new trend. For the first time, more people in these regions immigrated into rural areas than emigrated out of them. Net migration from urban to rural areas is called counterurbanization.
Counterurbanization results in part from very rapid expansion of suburbs. The boundary where suburbs end and the countryside begins cannot be precisely defined. However, most counterurbanization represents genuine migration from cities and suburbs to small towns and rural communities.
Like suburbanization, people move from urban to rural areas for lifestyle reasons. People are lured to rural areas by the prospect of leaving the frantic pace of urban life. With modern communications and transportation systems, no location in a more developed country is truly isolated, either economically or socially.
