Very interesting, seems like there are lots of "half backers" moving in.

That is a fascinating map! You could play with it for hours! Would be interesting to see net gain and loss figures.. Sure looks like folks in the New England states are gravitating to Florida and the Southwest. Maybe I wasn't doing it right (the pointer is sensitive) but Pennsylvania counties looked like they were keeping their citizens - while Florida was losing some and winning other's..

Thanks for sharing that!

Very interesting map! That is a massive undertaking of data to compile those statistics and put together that map. Hopefully they keep it updated year by year

Since I see that familiar name, the IRS as being responsible for it, I think you can count on it being around for awhile.

Wow, I knew it was dead over here on the southern Plateau..... people fleeing to Putnam county and a little back and forth with two adjoining counties and that's it. Guess that explains why the county's having money problems 'cause most of the developers are delinquent on their property taxes.

I thought it was interesting, but, I wondered about the "remark" which states in part, "IRS only reports inter-county moves for more than 10 people...." Is something being omitted?

some of the income averages for the area are remarkably low compared to other areas

Memphis is a loss, Florida is still the recipient of large inflows in certain cities

too bad we can't see the migration patterns from MEXICO, Canada (in re FL espcially) and Europe to the US

Well, I can answer the projected flow of US retirees to Mexico (that's where I live until a Saturday trip back to TN). Right now there are an estimated 1 million US retirees in Mexico and with new incentives that number is expected to climb to 5 million by 2025. I think you can attribute this projection to the Baby Boomers seeking a lower cost of living (including health care), along with the benefits of living in a warmer clime.
How Mexico will attract 5 million U.S. retirees : Mexico Living

So, I guess we have a very interesting migration pattern to and from Mexico. Not sure how that all balances out but it makes for some intriguing conjecturing. Not sure how it ultimately affects the Tri-Cities...
