The obvious questions, which I'm sure I am not the only one 
to notice are:
1:  what are purely biological reasons?
2:  if the individuals move do the external stressors still 
converge on the place where they use to be?  You are using an 
implicit geographical analogy which deletes any reference to 
agency and implies that it is pure chance that these 
stressors converge on a particular place where the person 
happens to be.  Surely not.
