Abstract: ABSTRACT This study investigates the impale of climate on metropolitan elderly migration rates. Factor analyses is used to identify six factors within a set of forty climatic variables. These six factors, along with eleveit nonclimatic variables, are used to predict elderly in and outmigration rates. Metropolitan areas with muld winters and low average incomes are alterative to elderly immigrants, while those with high rents and cleat dry summers ate likely to lose older residents through outmigration. These findings are consistent with the life course model of mobility, and with the destruction between conservative and innovating migrants.
