Recent work describing the size-of-place mobility process using a life cycle interpretation is used to specify a longitudinal LISREL model estimated with data from a four-wave panel covering the adolescent to adulthood period. The model examines the process through which residential origin influences adulthood residence as well as the temporal relationship between residential preferences and location. It is argued that the first move subsequent to the completion of high school is important in redirecting size-of-place preferences during early adulthood. Moreover, location in mid-adulthood has a strong effect on contemporaneous residential preferences net of preferences seven years earlier. Taken together, the results present a plausible life-course explanation of the observation based on cross-sectional surveys of adults that the modal residential preference is current size of place. Race-sex variations in this model are assessed and suggest models that are not invariant. Theoretical directives and problems for continued research using a life-course perspective are discussed
