Geographic mobility refers to the ability of individuals or groups to move from one location to another. This movement can occur for various reasons, including job opportunities, education, or personal circumstances. It can involve short-distance moves, such as relocating within a city, or long-distance moves, such as moving to a different state or country. Factors influencing geographic mobility include economic conditions, housing availability, and social networks. For example, people may relocate to areas with better job prospects or lower living costs. Additionally, government policies and transportation infrastructure can play significant roles in facilitating or hindering movement.
