Question About The Boston Metro Area: NY Transplant Friendly? (Plymouth: colleges, live)

[Thruway]

Having been born in the NY tri state area, displaced to metro DC, but gone to college in Boston it might be silly for me to ask.

I wanted to know is the Boston metro overall very homogenous with most of the people being Bostonians/New England faithful and loyal folks, sports fans, or does the area have a good amount of New Yorkers and influence?

I can say having lived in both areas, in DC it is not homogenous.
People come from all over the country, and don't adapt DC as their home.
This is partially due to DC being a soft market and is most apparant whenever a DC team is playing a Northeast team such as New York or Boston, when they get overwhelmed with road fans.

Boston, the city is where I went to college, was different.
People there by and large were New Englanders who loved the area, at least the culture if not the weather.
The city in fact for those who were migrants appeared to engulf those from other areas and make them Boston fans.

Nonetheless due to colleges or other reasons outside of Boston the 2nd most popular team and area there was New York, there did appear to good amount of NY folks.

I went and found this website, which I recommend to everybody
http://enterprise.star-telegram.com/...ick=&action=bg
It has a list of every US county detailing were people are migrating to and from.
For Boston the most people moving in OUT OF MARKET were
New York, NY 3,613
Cook, IL (Chicago) 1,620
Los Angeles, CA 1,539
Fairfield, CT 1,250

When I looked at surronding areas, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex, Plymouth, the pattern of New York having the most out of market people moving in was repeated.


My question:
1) Is the metro area homogenous, or does it have a good amount, visible of tri state area people, or both?
Why?

2) Also is it safe to be a NY fan in the Boston region, will you be heckled or will you have a decent number of fellow NY sympathizers from the area to at least converse and console, if needbe?

3) Why is SF and LA up there?

4) Lastly what places do Bostonians migrate to most, New York, DC, the sunbelt or mostly NY and why?
Thanks.
