The paper develops a typology of reasons for residential mobility and systematises the many survey analyses of reasons for moving. The relative importance of life cycle and housing adjustment mechanisms for explaining household relocations are evaluated. The analysis re-emphasises the role of housing adjustment in local moves and clarifies the theoretical links between stimulus (for move) and adjustment.
