Description

For persons ages 5 and older, MIG5DIFFREG reports the difference in Census region of the person's current residence compared to their residence from 5 years ago. People who lived in a different residence were asked if they lived in a different county or state 5 years ago, and whether they lived abroad. Those who reported living in a different state were asked whether they lived in a different state within each Census Region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West).

For information about other 5-year migration variables, see MIGRATE5.
