More than 10 million Americans moved from one county to another during 2008. The map below visualizes those moves. Click on any county to see comings and goings: black lines indicate net inward movement, red lines net outward movement. Source: Internal Revenue Service data.

What was the cause of that? This data is from 2008, so it's a few years old. I remember it from the 60's & 70's, we used to drive from Dallas to Austin or Houston to New Mexico (my parents loved those FM roads), or just go camping in Central Texas Somewhere...I'm sure it's different now. Though I did go through there in '92 and it was just as I remembered from the late '60s...
Click on border counties like El Paso cnty Tx. just saying
Source: Internal Revenue Service data. The IRS only reports inter-county moves for more than 10 people, so some moves are not shown on this map.
thanks for the post; very interesting map of demographic trends
There are some in eastern Colo and western Ks that show less than 10 with no lines...
LOL Late morning here to install a water filter but; What you said!!
One thing to note, this in 2008. My county (CT-New London) shows a net migration IN from Michigan. Why? Well Pfizer had closed their R&D site there and gave emps the option of leaving the company or moving to CT.
All the rest show red lines elsewhere.
For giggles I clicked on one of Austin TX’s counties. It mostly all black.
Ick, most people in just about any sensible area come from the Northeast.
Which would be fine, but they normally bring their liberal way of thinking with them!
>>Holy smokes, my county, New Haven, CT, looks like a crime scene
Well... :)
There is a ‘clear lines’ button. Is that what you want?
I hear ya. Generally, the scum do a very good job of staying within their borders. It doesn’t take very long at all to get to towns and neighborhoods where people can easily get by without locking their doors.

Yeah I know, just giving you a ribbing. Madison, Guilford, Branford, Oxford, etc. My own county (New London) has its share of scumbag central locations, but also has places that are as rural as you are likely to get in CT outside Torrington or Windham counties.
Err, Litchfield County I mean.
Note the sizeable IN-migration to Manhattan compared to the surrounding suburban counties. Lots of twentysomethings still flocking to NYC like locusts, despite the recession.
I was wondering about that. I checked El Paso County, CO (Air Force Academy) and noticed far more red than I expected. Part of it might be due to the graduating class spreading out to fewer places than the incoming class is arriving from. Plus, the IRS knows about each graduate, but might not find out about you until you arrive, so your move in doesn't get counted.
I wonder if there's a map adjusted for things like college attendance and military transfers.

Hi neighbor!
Click on Westchester County, NY, Mass Exodus, sure, lots of retired folks moving to florida, but folks are leaving NY in droves
Its the suburbs that are now bleeding people, while the city grows and attracts the young.
My nephew just moved to Wasilla in the last two weeks from Golden, Co.
He went there with a friend of the Palins to work and live.
He will be an asset to any community that he is in.
