Kernel density estimates of proximity to parents show clearly differences between groups, but only slight differences between stayers locations, movers' origins, and movers' destinations. Curves are multi-modal b/c of uneven distribution of residential populations across Swedish cities and towns.

Discrete choice models of residential mobility that account for the uneven distribution of housing show that people in all kinds of couples are more likely to move to neighborhoods near to parents. Differences in effects are slight, but the effects appear to be weakest for exogamous immigrants.

Results are indicative of weaker parent-child relationships for exogamous immigrants vs. endogamous peers and natives. This could be due to selection into exogamous unions or the effects of unions on relationships. In any case, our results suggest a spatio-demographic component to immigrant bargain.
