Cohabitation and migration patterns of young adults have not been well studied despite the increase in cohabitation. This study used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 to examine the relationship between mobility and union status in early adulthood (16 to 34) while considering important transition to adulthood life events. We performed logistic regression and liner regression to model the probability of moving and the frequency of moving by union status while controlling for demographic characteristics, school enrollment, income, fertility, household characteristics, region and year. Preliminary findings show that cohabiting men and women are more likely to move compared to their married counterparts, while those not in a union fall somewhere in between. The difference between the married and cohabiting decreased after controlling for fertility. Follow-up analyses of the data will examine the interaction between the union status and fertility on mobility.
