Abstract
We introduce a new model of geographic mobility that maps the underlying contours of sociocultural space [in the United States] after purging the confounding effects of distance inertia contiguity and population size....We argue that known features of the social landscape should be entered explicitly into mobility specifications. This approach yields new insights into (1) the net holding power of regions subregions and states; (2) the effects of macro-level variables on propensities for immobility and exchange; and (3) influence of seemingly minor variations in the shape of regions on gross patterns of immobility and exchange.

"Gross and net migration flows among[U.S.] states for 1975-80 were used to define migration regions, or groups of states with similar patterns of net interchange, which may be characterized as a transition from a northeastern 'core' which lost to all other regions to a northwestern 'periphery' which gained from all other areas.
