"Even though the number of people who changed residence in 2008 dropped by 3.5 million from the previous year, millions of Americans continue to move," said Tom Mesenbourg, acting director of the U.S. Census Bureau. "As we gear up for the 2010 Census, we will be looking to get an accurate count of everyone in the country, regardless of whether they moved in the past year or not."

This compares with 12.3 percent of the population who were employed and lived in a different residence one year ago.Among those not in the labor force, 9 percent lived in a different residence one year ago.

In 2008, the renters were five times more likely to move than homeowners.More than one-in-four people (27.7 percent) living in renter-occupied housing units lived in a different residence one year earlier.By comparison, the mover rate of people living in owner occupied housing units was 5.4 percent.
