Not Atlanta. We discussed this in another thread.

Denver in definitely in the running. It has been a transient city as long as I can recall, and that's a LONG time

DC has to be up there. In my experience, places like Atlanta tend to be more regional draws (lots of people from Ga., the Carolina, Alabama, etc) with some national/international.

When I was in DC it seemed like a LOT of the people were from all over the country and the world.

Is there any data or estimates by the Census Bureau or other reasearch places about this out there?

You can look it up on city-data.com. The people who are born in state, compared to people born out of the state.

Thanks, but where on the site? I have been browsing around, and have not been able to find it.

Go to the city's page. From there, hit CTRL-F and search for "born." It will show you a link to another page. Click it and you will find all kinds of info on the subject.

Here is a link to the city of Denver's page to try it out. http://www.city-data.com/city/Denver-Colorado.html

And a link to the page on all the born out of state info. http://www.city-data.com/races/races...-Colorado.html

This is what you are looking for, right? Well not Denver necessarily but this kind of info.

I grew up in Gwinnett County and I'd say a majority of my classmates were from outside the southeast, particularly the rust belt and New Jersey.
