^ select year only goes to 2009.

Anyway, I notice the big cities have a lot of departures rather than the other way around. And not to other big cities either.

Lots of Californians leaving, as usual.

EDIT: Click on Detroit. :awe:

Looks like it's about evened out in 2009.

Seatlle has the most inbound

 

[Mr. Lennon]

What's going down in Seattle?

 

[JTsyo]

Seems those in Alaska tend to stay there.

Damn Northerners and Californians better not be bring their ultra-liberal politics with them.

Edit: crap, just realized the new map doesn't allow linking to the county you're viewing. For those interested, it's Harris County, TX (Houston's county)

 

[Saint Nick]

Yeah, no surprise. All the hippies from Omaha are moving to California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado.

I was one of those Long Islanders moving upstate, although I grew up here so I was really just visiting down there for a few years.

Us ultra-liberals are staying put, 'cause you guns 'n' jesus freaks are scary.

We're sending out our conservatives (known as "liberals" to you) as advance scouts. Follow them up with successive waves of more and more liberal people. For example, our moderates will follow our conservatives (you'll recognize our moderates as "commies"), then we'll sneak in a few actual liberals. You'll recognize that stage of the invasion by the way you're suddenly forced to marry another dude, or maybe a goat, and how suddenly families are outlawed. MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Lots of LI'ers don't want to pay these ridiculous taxes anymore (schools, cop/teacher salaries) so they go somewhere cheaper and less congested... they get a bigger house and more land, yet it's completely boring and their salaries also suffer even if they can afford things better now. Well, upstate has always been boring, and gloomy - went to school there 4.5 years.

Big migration to NC - in a few years, they will have the same issues as here.

Pretty much what I expected. Everyone is moving here from NYC. As this scum levels go up, everyone already here is moving North to get away from NYC d-bags. Sounds about right.

Just as expected, all NYers and New Englanders move to LA if they grew up in East Coast and got sick of it.
