Abstract
This paper examines data on seasonal migration from a sample of 1279 residents aged sixty and over of a northeast non-metropolitan county. Seasonal migrants are more likely to be married and to own a car and/or home, they are less likely to be working, and they report higher levels of income and education than non-migrants. Fully four-fifths choose a destination in the southeast and select “better climate” as their first reason for seasonal migration.Keywords
