Americans Are Moving At The Lowest Rate

From The Wall Street Journal, Real Time Economics, "Newsletter: Americans Are Moving at the Lowest Rate on Record" by Jeffrey Sparshott:
Americans are moving at the lowest rate on record. New Census Bureau data show 9.8% of the U.S. population age 1 and older changed addresses over the past year, the smallest share in records dating back to 1948. The latest figures highlight a long-term decline in American mobility—through much of the 1950s and 1960s around 20% of the population moved to a new home each year.
