Michigan saw a population increase for the first time this decade in 2012-2013 (a 0.1% gain), as the net outflow migration slowed to about 28,500, down from more than 33,000 in 2011-2012. Michigan remains the nation’s ninth most-populous state for now, but if current trends continue, North Carolina will bump it to 10th place sometime next year.

In other words its not outflow so much as it is a small inflow. Another couple of years of RTW and other economic reforms should up the inflow.

We should note here....the returnees to Michigan...aren’t going to Detroit, and that the UP area is actually attracting folks....in a mysterious way (I guess).
