Migration Within the U.S.
Interregional migration is the migration of people from one region within a country to another region within that country itself. In the U.S. the movement within happens multiple times, however there were times in U.S. history where this migration was prominent, these times being mainly during the 1800s and 1900s. Over time the occurance of interregional migration has slowed down because the amount of money now to move around is quite costly. If we were to look at a map, which is below, you can notice that most of U.S. migration has moved westward over time. Regardless of this, a very known mass migration took place in America when African Americans moved up toward the north, and west from the south; a time called the Great Migration during the beginning of the 20th century.
There are 3 different forms of interregional migration. They include: rural-to-urban, urban-to-suburban, and urban-to-rural. Rural to urban migration involve the movement from the country life to the city life. During the 18th century this was done in a large scale, but as time has progressed it has slowed down, but even now it is still a major topic of discussion because now cities need to prepare and know how they will accomidate all the new residents as they move in. Over time this has reversed however creating a counter-urbanisation, better known as urban to rural migration. There is also urban to suburban migration which is where a person would migrate to be right inbetween the country and city life. Usually on the out skirts of a city, these areas are mainly low-density and car-dependent regions.
