This study presents a model of net interstate migration in the United States during the 1970s. Of 5 composite dimensions derived from an exploratory factor analysis of 20 candidate predictors of interstate migration, the greatest predictive power in an ordinary least squares regression analysis is attained by a set of quality‐of‐life correlates of migration. Composites of fiscal policy and labor relations variables, more controllable by public decisionmakers, are also significant.
