Migration histories are examined for a random sample of people age 60 and over who relocated within Kansas City, Kansas since age 50. Migrants are classified into two spatially defined groups, those moving toward and those away from the CBD. Analyses of group centrographic and individual distance-moved statistics reveal that two significant spatial patterns can be observed. The predominant pattern is composed of those moving from central city locations toward but seldom terminating in recent suburban areas. The second pattern consists of relocations within similar neighborhoods only slightly closer to the CBD. The socioeconomic profiles of the two groups who produce these patterns are then determined via discriminant analysis. Those moving outward are found to be wealthier, more active socially, more stable residentially, more apt to be found at home, and auto owners. Inward migrants exhibit greater socioeconomic diversity, but generally have smaller disposable incomes and consequently appear to be those most in need of social services
