Newly released data from the US Census Bureau says Americans are on the move again – the country’s rate of domestic migration in 2012 hit a five-year high.

Ken Johnson is senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institute. He explains what he's learned from working through the data to All Things Considered host Brady Carlson.
