Kin and Elderly Amenity Migration.

Gober, Patricia; Zonn, Leo E.

Gerontologist, v23 n3 p288-94 Jun 1983

Studied the role of kin in elderly amenity migration based upon interviews with recent migrants (N=92) to Sun City, Arizona. Migrants who maintained long-term ties to the community before moving usually relied upon relatives for migration information, but relatives were not an essential reason for choosing the community.
