Definition

  • Over the past 25 years, the study of residential mobility has shifted from predicting or explaining residential mobility patterns based on life cycle transitions, such as a change in marital status or the birth of children, to an evaluation of the patterns experienced over a longer segment of time. This longer-view study of individual and household residential mobility patterns is known as the housing career. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Housing; Housing Careers]
