Abstract

The objective of this thesis was to understand and model the patterns of internal migration to Southeast Florida in terms of spatial, demographic, social, economic, and climatic factors. First, a review of migration theory and research was made. Second, migration is described in terms of the total components of population change in Southeast Florida. Third, aggregate migration, i.e., migration flows, are described and then modeled in gravity model formulations. Fourth, the proportion of migrants, i.e., migration rates, are described and modeled using multiple linear regression and principle components analysis. Finally the results obtained are conceptualized in terms of the migrant's decision to migrate to Southeast Florida.
