  ABSTRACT: In recent years, the floating elderly population (FEP) is constantly rising in China, and the flow of the elderly in the future will inevitably affect the redistribution of elderly population, including the nursing demands of the elderly, even the spatial matching problems on providing public resources and facilities. Therefore, based on the data of China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS) in 2016, this paper, taking Pierre Bourdieu’s cultural, economic and social capital as the theoretical framework, aims to analyze the factors affecting the residing preference of the FEP. The investigation shows that the model has a good number of indicators, significantly reflecting the influence of the variables of different capitals on the residing preference, and among them, the social capital exerts the most remarkable influence. In accordance with the analyzing results, some public policy suggestions on strengthening the government elderly service, improving the community comprehensive service and building a good elderly economic service have been raised so as to enhance the residing preference of the FEP.
