Abstract This paper tries to make a tentative analysis of the economic and time attributes as well as the inner mechanism of the migration of former urban staff-living community residents based upon field investigation. Through methods of numerical analysis and linear analysis, the migration time, economic dimension, migration reasons and the transform relationship of property rights during the migration are analyzed. The authors summarize the characters of migrations of the former urban staff-living communities' residents as follows. Firstly, there are more than 60 percent of urban stuff-living community residents changed their houses, with the spatial character as short-distance mobility, supplemented with longer distance mobility to other places as well as peripheral areas of cities, and less related to each others. Secondly, the evolution of residents' family life cycle and the demand of housing area are the important reasons that cause the migration. Thirdly, the external restraints affect the migration exists in the economic system reform which causes housing system reform and labor system reform. In addition, urban reconstruction, the development and construction of real estate are the powerful force to make migration. The rapid development of market economy makes the urban population migrate frequent. Fourthly, due to the rapid development of the commercial industry and financial industry, for the sake of pursuing differential land renting, a new migration model of the property rights transform relationship called "the old for rent and rent the new" appears. It shows that the degree of the housing marketization is higher at that time. Finally, the authors point out that the economic reform and urban economic development are the most fundamental factors in promoting the migration of urban population at present.
