Population Mobility

Another three in ten (27.4%) had moved within the previous one to three years. Only three out of every ten (30.2%) had lived at the same address for five years or more. The high student population in the area, due to the close proximity to the University of Alberta, may account for much of this mobility.

Famous quotes containing the words population and/or mobility:
“The population of the world is a conditional population; these are not the best, but the best that could live in the existing state of soils, gases, animals, and morals: the best that could yet live; there shall be a better, please God.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One set of messages of the society we live in is: Consume. Grow. Do what you want. Amuse yourselves. The very working of this economic system, which has bestowed these unprecedented liberties, most cherished in the form of physical mobility and material prosperity, depends on encouraging people to defy limits.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
