Source: Authors’ calculations, Duke SSA/Medicare data and 1970 Census, birth cohorts 1916 through 1932 inclusive. We list destination cities that have a proportion of 0.10 or more. In the SSA/Medicare data we have residence at ages 65 and older. (For Census estimates of cities, we use the proportion of urban residents whose metropolitan area is identified.)
