INTERNAL MIGRATION

Demography Working Paper 2001/5 - Evaluation of Administrative Data Sources for Use in Quarterly Estimation of Internal Migration Between 2001 and 2006 has been released. It concludes that Medicare data remains the best administrative data source available for preparing postcensal internal migration estimates. Even though data problems exist, population coverage and timeliness in particular point to its superiority over other data sources.
