A study of the intrastate migration of Washington college freshmen: A further test of the gravity model
Abstract Previous researchers have studied the interstate migration of college students employing a gravity conception of movement. Such a conceptualization has been found to fit the data with a high degree of correlation. The present research applies the gravity concept to the intrastate migration of Washington college freshmen from their counties of residence to their college of attendance for Fall quarter, 1972. The predictive utility of the model is tested by comparing actual migration against migration volume expected visa-vis the population and distance terms in the model. A high degree of correlation is obtained between the amount of actual and expected migration, indicating the general utility of the model to an analysis of intrastate student migration.
