Mobility rates are down across the board, but they have fallen the most for long-distance moves. The number of people who moved to a different state fell from a peak of 8.4 million in 1999-00 to just 4.8 million in 2010-11--a 43 percent decline. In contrast the number of people who moved to a different house in the same county fell by just 4 percent during those years (from 24.4 million to 23.3 million).
