A different state? Im 220 miles from the state line.
People in the entire NE and Chicago have multiple other states in their respective metros-not sure how a simple over state line stat really tells anything
I don't think you read closely enough. For the MSA for Chicago for example - considering the MSA covers Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana, that means the data does NOT COUNT people moving from ANY of those states.

This doesnt really change much imo. 3+ states within a 100-mile stretch is super close for people out west.

It's been a few years since I've seen the breakdown of total people actually born in Georgia versus those who were born else where, but at the time (maybe 5 years ago) transplants were already a plurality of the population in Metro Atlanta.

Impressive. Atlanta has come roaring back nicely since the recession years in the late 2000's to early 2010's.

Everything youre saying is true, but again its also because Georgia is not a big state outside of Atlanta itself. Compared to Dallas which probably has more people moving to it from outside of the metro area itself, but because Texas is a much bigger state with more large cities, it wont reflect as high.

Right...migration into Texas is split into two major metros (DFW & Houston) along with two medium sized metros (SA & Austin), one of which is wildly popular (Austin).

Atlanta actually has more competition for out-of-state residents than Dallas. The Southeast region has several high growth metro areas that are in direct competition for businesses and residents. Charlotte, Nashville, Raleigh, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Columbia (all on the list that marothisu posted). I'd also add Huntsville, AL, Birmingham, Charleston, SC and Greenville/Spartanburg, SC to the mix, as those areas are attracting steady amounts employers and newcomers that could have located in Georgia.
Dallas competes with Houston, Austin and San Antonio. What else is around Texas? I suppose OKC, but they're no real threat. Frankly, Houston and Dallas' proximity to one another is a benefit for each metro that Atlanta doesn't have here in Georgia.
I get what you're saying about Atlanta being pretty much the only show in town when it comes to Georgia. Again, Atlanta still has intense competition from other states and cities within its region. Nashville and Charlotte are not much farther from Atlanta than Houston and Austin are from Dallas.

With respect though, Atlanta is by far the major player of the Southeast. None of those other cities have near the pull Atlanta does and only Charlotte is a good comparison.
Dallas competes with Houston, Denver, Chicago, and Atlanta more than Austin or San Antonio.
I said every OTHER new resident. I let you fill in that blank lol.
