Residential Mobility in Early Childhood: Household and Neighborhood Characteristics of Movers and Non-Movers.
Demographic Research 2015 October
BACKGROUND: Understanding residential mobility in early childhood is important for contextualizing influences on child health and well-being.
OBJECTIVE: This study describes individual, household, and neighborhood characteristics associated with residential mobility for children aged 0-5.
METHODS: We examined longitudinal data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B), a nationally representative sample of children born in 2001. Frequencies describe the prevalence of characteristics for four waves of data and adjusted Wald tests compared means.
RESULTS: Moving was common for these families with young children, as nearly three-quarters of children moved at least once. Movers transitioned to neighborhoods with residents of higher socioeconomic status but experienced no improved household socioeconomic position relative to non-movers.
CONCLUSION: Both the high prevalence and unique implications of early childhood residential mobility suggest the need for further research.
