Rural Retirement Migration

1. Rural Retirement Migration: Past, Present and Future/ 2. Retirement Destinations in the Countryside/ 3. The Formation and Development of Rural Retirement Destinations/ 4. Who Moves to Rural Retirement Communities, and Why Do They Move There?/ 5. Social Integration and Well-Being of Older In-Migrants to Rural Retirement Destinations/ 6. Community Challenges and Opportunities Associated with Retirement In-Migration/ 7. Rural Retirement Migration and Public Policy/ Index/
* This book examines the migration of older persons to rural retirement destinations in the United States. While the majority of older persons are residentially stable, those who migrate are disproportionately likely to move to a rural community. Moreover, with the aging of the baby boom generation, particular rural communities can expect to continue attracting older in-migrants in the future. * The book examines rural retirement migration from the older in-migrants perspective and from the vantage point of the destination communities to which they move. *
