Category - Demographic Trends

Which of the following states does not receive a high number of migrant retirees?
  1. Florida
  2. Colorado
  3. Pennsylvania
  4. Arizona
  5. North Carolina
Explanation
Answer: C - Pennsylvania receives very few migrant retirees. In the late 20th century, it became increasingly common for people to migrate following their retirement from the workforce. Several states, especially Florida and Arizona, became popular destinations, primarily because of their warm climates. Nearly one-fifth of the migrants to Florida and Arizona are retirees. This phenomenon has caused a demonstrable shift in the population density of elderly Americans on a state and regional level.
