Who's Moving Where


Richard Florida:

The map is from United Van Lines annual report on state-by-state moves. While these data are certainly not without bias, the report sheds light on some interesting, if not exactly novel, trends and patterns. North Carolina did best with 64.0% inbound moves. Michigan on the other hand was the biggest loser with 66.0% outbound moves followed by New Jersey (60.9%), New York (59.5%), Indiana (58.2%), Pennsylvania (57.0%) and Ohio (55.8%), and Illinois (55.7%). Click here for the report or here for the actual state-by-state data. (hat tip: Chris Briem). Boy, it would be great to see the metro-region data. Does anyone have it or know how to get it?

North Carolina "did best"? I thought immigration was a bad thing...
