More and more Americans are flocking to resort-like cities, places like Flagstaff, Arizona.
Kenneth Johnson, a senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institute, has a name for these folks moving in (many retirees): "amenity migrants."
"Like many of us, they would say, 'Boy, when I can, I would really like to live in one of these beautiful, scenic areas,'" Johnson said. "And as they get close to retirement, they can fulfill those wishes" — either in full retirement or by working a more flexible schedule.
