"Most common cities people move to when they their metro area"
I apologize i'm not sure what this means? Just to understand, you mean these cities are the most common places people move to from a certain metropolitan area? Does the city in bold represent where they're coming from or where they're moving to? Just curious.

Article? Source?
Yes. The most common destinations. Bold represents where they're leaving.
No surprise Los Angeles made the top 5 for Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
Conservatives make a huge deal about Californians moving to Texas (in droves!), but make no mention about Texas sending us more residents every year than any other state.

All these cities have large migration numbers to Phoenix, I could assume for these reasons....
Los Angeles - lower COL/next state over
San Diego - lower COL/next state over
Dallas - ????? help me out here.
Portland - warmer, sunnier, and lower COL
Denver - warmer and lower COL with mountain state camaraderie
Chicago - warmer, lower COL, retirement, lots of relatives.
New York City 1. Los Angeles
2. Philadelphia
3. Miami
4. Ft. Lauderdale
5. San Francisco
LA feels like it's inundated with New Yorkers. Feelings confirmed; but why are they coming here vs other large cities like Chicago?
Seattle
1. Los Angeles
2. New York City
3. Portland
4. San Francisco
5. San Diego
Portland
1. Seattle
2. Los Angeles
3. New York City
4. San Francisco
5. Phoenix
These two really surprised me. I would have bet serious money that more Seattleites and Portlanders would head to SF over LA.
No surprise that NYC appears on every list but that LA also does is totally unexpected. Especially since the data are from 2010-2011, when LA's unemployment numbers were still very high.
I thought SF, DC and the Texas cities would appear on many more lists. SF-Bay Area because of the massive tech sector and its high desirability; DC as a recession-proof employment center; Texas for its hot job market and low cost of living.
I haven't looked at the source pdf, but does anyone know?
Phoenix is clearly a major migration target. So, what are the top destinations for outbound Phoenicians?
1. Washington DC
2. New York
3. Philadelphia
4. Tampa
5. Miami
