The main goal of this paper is to analyze residential mobility within the Córdoba Metropolitan Region, particularly changes in the municipality of residence in the period 2005-2010. The data come from the National Population, Household and Housing Census 2010 and information about the municipality of habitual residence and on a previous fixed date are used. Entry and exit rates are calculated for the different municipalities that make up the region, as well as net rates of residential mobility, according to the size of the population and the distance from the metropolitan center. The intensity of residential mobility is also estimated according to the characteristics of the individuals and households that carried out these displacements. The municipalities of smaller size and located at an intermediate distance exhibit the highest net rates of residential mobility, and the highest intensity is recorded among adults between 30 and 39 years old with higher educational levels and in children from 5 to 9 years old, that resided in a household in the process of raising children. The results obtained show the important role of residential mobility in the configuration of the new socio-territorial dynamics of the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
