1) New York: 183,681
2) Los Angeles: 86,161
3) Miami: 71,775
4) San Francisco/San Jose: 50,987
5) Washington/Baltimore: 47,594
6) Chicago: 35,039
7) Houston: 31,136
8) Dallas: 28,090
9) Boston: 25,909
10) Atlanta: 22,035
11) San Diego: 21,556

Really interesting data. From a Tx perspective. the relatively high natural growth rates for tx cities surprised me a little. Also it shows Dallas is more attractive to domestic relocators where Houston is more so to foreign relocators to Tx cities.

The difference is pretty small between the international migration to both is relatively small. Breaking it down between Dallas and Houston, the primary difference is that Houston does a better job of attracting residents from South and Central America (minus Mexico which is pretty similar to both) as well as East Asia and Dallas does a better job of attracting residents from Africa and South Asia.

Overall, the difference is between the two ends up being 1k-3k a year depending on the year.

Miami and Chicago are pretty big shockers to me.

[bradjl2009]

Interesting to see that not a single metro in the Northeast or Midwest attracts more domestic migrants than Pittsburgh.

I doubt Miami is gaining that many people, and doubt Chicago is losing that many.

Are these estimates again? I doubt Miami's growth via migration has jumped that much.

[LongIslandPerson]

The only way I can see people moving to Miami is to retire. Since Miami's economy/job market is severely battered by the recession.

nice to see Indianapolis above Kansas City in all catergories.
especially with Domestic Migration. Indianapolis gained people well Kansas City lost people to Domestic Migration. *Go Figure lol*

Not sure you should be laughing....you're still lagging behind Columbus (an equal by any measure) and Minneapolis-St. Paul if you base it on percentages.

In the end, nobody in the Midwest is a true "winner" here!
