The question specifically states that more than half of those who moved stayed within the same county. This suggests that they were likely not moving for career opportunities or to be closer to family members, as those reasons would usually require moving to a different location. Therefore, the most likely reason for their move was to improve their housing situation, such as moving to a larger or nicer home.
