最近的估计表明，美国中心城市的发展速度比郊区快，这引起了学术界和大众媒体的关注。许多评论家利用这些数字声称，美国的内部移民趋势已经达到了一个转折点，移民越来越喜欢城市住宅而不是郊区。然而，这些主张往往依赖于有问题的城市和郊区的定义，并没有注意到移民之间的人口差异。本文根据2005年以来美国社区调查的微观数据样本，研究了美国最近的国内移民是否选择了更近的目的地。在此期间，移民到美国最大的大都市地区的总体趋势是选择迁移到更靠近大都市核心的地方。然而，这一趋势在主要人口群体之间存在显著差异;年轻、单身、受过教育和白领移民显示出回归核心的迹象，而蓝领、受教育程度较低、年龄较大和有家庭的移民则更多地留在郊区。反过来，这一分析表明，“回到城市”的移民总体趋势在不同人口群体的大都市目的地产生了相当大的差异。
Recent estimates that central cities are growing faster than their suburbs in the U.S. have captured the attention of both academics and the popular media. Many commentators have used these numbers to claim that internal migration trends in the U.S. have reached a turning point, in which migrants increasingly prefer urban residences to suburban locales. However, these assertions often rely on problematic definitions of city and suburb, and pay too little attention to demographic variations among migrants. This paper examines whether recent internal migrants in the U.S. are choosing closer†in destinations, drawing from microdata samples from the American Community Survey since 2005. During this period, there is an overall trend of migrants to the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. choosing to migrate closer to the metropolitan core. However, this trend varies significantly among major demographic groups; whereas younger, single, educated, and white†collar migrants show evidence of a return to the core, migrants who are blue†collar, less†educated, older, and with families remain more suburban. In turn, this analysis suggests that overall trends of “back to the city†migration are producing considerable divergence in the metropolitan destinations of different demographic groups.
