Abstract: In this analysis, we examine what types of households migrate to American Indian reservation lands after the start of casino operations using longitudinal household data for 1989–2017. We find heterogeneous effects on migration by households of different types. American Indians who are single parents are significantly more likely to move to reservation lands after gaming operations commence. No significant changes in mobility were found among married households with children. These results suggest that pull factors may also affect how households decide to relocate when there are changes to economic opportunities and other community or social amenities.
