Net Migration as a Factor Affecting Metropolitan Growth in Utah: 1950 to 1970
Net Migration as a Factor Affecting Metropolitan Growth in Utah: 1950 to 1970 by Kooros M. Mahmoudi, Doctor of Philosophy Utah State University, 1973 Major Professor: Dr. Yun Kim Department: Sociology The objectives of this study were to measure net inor out-migration to or from the Standard Metropolitan Areas of Utah between 1950-60 and 1960-70, and to study selected socio-economic factors relating to migration and the growth of SMSA 's. Specifically, the factors of migration and natural population increase were central in an analysis of population redistribution. Selected demographic characteristics of the migrants such as sex and age were also studied to establish their impact upon the SMSA population structure. The relationship between population change in the SMSA ' s and economic factors of labor force supply and employment were also reviewed. Net intercensal migration for the SMSA 's of Ogden, Provo-Orem, and Salt Lake City were derived through indirect methods of estimating net migration: L. The Census Survival Ratio Method and the Life Table Survival Ratio Method. An analysis of the findings indicated that most migrants were in the younger age groups of 20-34 years and females outnumbered the males in the migrating population. These trends held for all three SMSA 's throughout the 1950-60 and
Internal Migration Statistics for the United States
Abstract A methodological survey of statistics on internal migration used in the new enlarged edition of Historical Statistics of the United States. No one body of materials gives a complete picture but much can be pieced out from the essentially complementary series that exist: the state-of-birth data of the decennial censuses, 1850–; the special migration reports of the 1940 and 1950 censuses; the annual migration estimates of the Current Population Survey, 1947–; and the Department of Agriculture's annual estimates of migration to and from farms, 1920–. An additional important series can be derived from census age-sex-color-nativity distributions by survival methods. All such estimates are inexact but important migration streams are clearly delineated and the margin of error is probably less than that of most economic series to which they are related.
