[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1217810, member: 1246"] [b]Re: migration within the country[/b] [IMG]http://cdn.theatlanticcities.com/img/upload/2013/11/01/Screen%20Shot%202013-11-01%20at%201.15.53%20PM_.png[/IMG]Here is a map of total net migration across the 2000s in the U.S., with orange counties losing the most people and purple counties gaining the most. The legend is shown at right. [IMG]http://cdn.theatlanticcities.com/img/upload/2013/11/01/total%20net%20migration%202000s.png[/IMG] [I][SIZE=2]Net migration in total population by county during the 2000s. [h=1]Mapping 60 Years of White Flight, Brain Drain and American Migration[/h] You can tell a lot about a place by who doesn't want to be there any more. Or, conversely, by who wants to move in. A city that seeps population over time invariably has deeper problems driving its demographic change, like poor school districts that can't keep young families, or weak job prospects for its college grads. A county that attracts new residents, on the other hand -- maybe young people in particular, or retirees -- likely has the right amenities to lure them. Maybe a certain job sector. Or golf course communities. In this way, we can divine some of the fortunes of different corners of the country simply by watching how Americans move around over the years. Each year, about 10 million Americans relocate to a new county. Map all those moves from one Census to another, across decades, and by race and age demographics, and you can see the Great Migration of blacks from the South, white flight to northern suburbs, the hollowing out of Rust Belt cities and the rise of the Sun Belt. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Michigan Technological University and the University of New Hampshire have built [URL="http://www.netmigration.wisc.edu/"][COLOR=#416ed2]just such a database[/COLOR][/URL] dating back to the 1950s. Their tool tracks net changes in population by county, all across the country, for each decade since the 50s (taking into account estimated deaths and births in between each decennial Census).
