For the 2015, 2016, and 2017 one-year table packages, the Table 9 titles listed on these respective webpages should have referred to householders more generally instead of family householders. And for the 2007 through 2021 one-year table packages and 2010 and 2015 five-year table packages, for Table 9 (as of the 2015 one- and five-year), the titles in the spreadsheets detailing table changes across years should have also referred to householders more generally instead of family householders. The corrected title for Table 9 (as of the 2018 one-year and 2020 five-year table packages) is “General Mobility of Householders, by Household Income in [prior year], Sex, Age, Race and Hispanic Origin, Region, and Tenure”. In the 2015 five-year table comparison spreadsheet, 2010 table numbers 19 through 22 were denoted as not created in 2015 due to metropolitan status content, when they should have been denoted as discontinued along with other tables. Corrections have been made to affected webpages and table comparison spreadsheets. Please replace any previously downloaded table comparison spreadsheets with the corrected version.

As of the 2020 five-year CPS ASEC Geographic Mobility table package, table footnotes include clarifications about the migration universe, householder definition, and family householder definition. As of the 2022 one-year Geographic Mobility table package, the householder and family householder table footnotes include clarifications about persons in group quarters. The migration universe is not limited to respondents within households, and any householder must be coded as a member of a household. Specifically:

One-year migration universe:

One-year migration estimates from the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC) exclude persons less than one year old. The sample includes noninstitutionalized persons currently living in the United States (50 states and the District of Columbia) and living with at least one civilian adult (at least 15 years old). Movers from Puerto Rico and the United States Island Areas are counted as movers from abroad. Information on confidentiality protection, sampling error, nonsampling error, and definitions is available at <https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/technical-documentation/complete.html>.

Five-year migration universe:

Five-year migration estimates from the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC) exclude persons less than five years old. The sample includes noninstitutionalized persons currently living in the United States (50 states and the District of Columbia) and living with at least one civilian adult (at least 15 years old). Movers from Puerto Rico and the United States Island Areas are counted as movers from abroad. Information on confidentiality protection, sampling error, nonsampling error, and definitions is available at <https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/technical-documentation/complete.html>.

Householder definition:

The householder is usually the person (or one of the persons) in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented (maintained) or, if there is no such person, any adult member of the household (at least 15 years old), excluding roomers, boarders, or paid employees. If the house is owned or rented jointly by a married couple, the householder may be either spouse.

Family householder definition:

A family is a group of two persons or more (one of whom is the householder) residing together and related by birth, marriage, or adoption. All such persons (including related subfamily members) are considered as members of one family. The householder is usually the person (or one of the persons) in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented (maintained) or, if there is no such person, any adult member of the household (at least 15 years old), excluding roomers, boarders, or paid employees. If the house is owned or rented jointly by a married couple, the householder may be either spouse.

Relationship to householder categories include persons in group quarters. Persons in group quarters may be coded as part of a household instead of as a secondary individual. Notably, Table 6 (table number as of the 2022 one-year release) is not only limited to family householders, but also limited to persons not living in group quarters. This applies to versions of Table 6 prior to 2022 as well.

Data users are encouraged to note these clarifications when referring to 2021 and earlier one-year CPS ASEC geographic mobility tables and 2015 and earlier five-year CPS ASEC geographic mobility tables.
