Trends for Seniors in Choice of Where To Live
Although many Americans still travel to the south to enjoy their retirement years, studies show that an increasing number of seniors are moving back home to the North. Other seniors are moving in a more northerly direction but are settling somewhere in the middle. They have become know as "half-backs." The University of Florida uses the term "temporary migration" to document this trend. It was determined that many of those seniors who moved to Florida went there seeking a change in lifestyle but returned home within six months. Younger families who had moved to Florida were inclined to stay longer.
