ABSTRACT
Intraurban migration – , that is, residential relocation within a metropolitan area – is an important aspect of regional and urban studies. However, the paucity of data on the migration choices of individuals at finer spatial scales remains a challenge. Using big land parcel data, a novel form of information on household intraurban migration was developed for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area of Minnesota. With such information, the spatial patterns of migration as well as the changes of structural and neighborhood characteristics before and after migration were revealed and examined using spatial analysis and big data analytics.
