IPUMS refers to the Integrated Public Use <br />Microdata Series. Microdata are anonymous individual record data that allow for custom tabulations such as were necessary to compile this repor t. The <br />complete citation for IPUMS is: Steven Ruggles, J. Trent Alexander, Katie Genadek, Ronald Goeken, Matthew B. Schroeder, and Matthew Sobek. <br />Integrated Public Use Microdata Series: Version 5.0 [Machine-readable database]. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota, 2010. <br /> <br /> <br />Note About “Snowbirds” <br />Minnesota is home to some number of “snowbirds,” individuals who leave for all or a portion of the winter months to live in warmer areas, but who <br />maintain a residence in Minnesota. Typically snowbirds are retired and still spend the majority of their year residing in Min nesota. Furthermore, snowbirds <br />are not “migrating” in the way we have characterized migration in this report, i.e., taking up new residence in another state with the intent to stay. At this <br />time, the U.S. Census Bureau does not have a reliable method to estimate the size of Minnesota’s snowbird population. However , our primary data <br />source, the American Community Survey, asks respondents about their current residence and residence one year ago. Because the American Community <br />Survey is a year-round survey, the majority of Minnesota snowbirds are likely responding while in Minnesota, while a smaller share who receive the survey <br />during the winter months while they are away are likely appearing in their temporary state of residence. However, some degree of Minnesota’s in- and <br />out-migration among older adults may be overstated due to those who left one year but not the previous or the next year, resulting in the appearance of <br />having migrated. <br /> <br /> <br />For Additional Information <br /> <br />Please contact the MN State Demographic Center at demography.helpline@state.mn.us.
