NYC is a city full of transplants–depending on the neighborhood you live in you could be hard pressed to find someone born and bred in one of the five boroughs.
That begs the questions, where are all the transplants in New York moving from?
Another census study, conducted over five years from 2009-2013, gives us a pretty good idea of all the different places new New Yorkers are moving from.
We combined inbound migration data for each of the five boroughs and removed borough to borough moves. During those five years, the Census reported that 170,794 people moved to the city. More than 76 percent of those movers relocated from another state.
Movers outside of New York:
Hudson County, NJ (Manhattan)
Los Angeles County, CA
Bergen County, NJ
Cook County, IL (Chicago)
Philadelphia County, PA
Movers from New York:
Nassau County
Westchester County
Suffolk County
Erie County
Orange County
Interesting. I would have thought it was somewhere further south for some reason...
I moved from Boston nearly 6 years ago, and prior to that had lived in various towns/cities in OK, FL, WI, VT, and was born in Santa Monica, CA (so I guess that's technically LA county). I'm a transplant but never really had a hometown to begin with- this is actually the only city I've spent more than 4 years in since birth. Both of my grandparents on my moms side are natives as their parents came over on Ellis Island- I still have family scattered around LI.

So most of the transplants grew up in the suburbs?
And who from Hudson County can afford to live here?
