Likewise, especially within my own hometown... You can keep draining the swamp and building on top of it.

Immigration in 2019 is roughly about half of the total volume of immigration in 2016.

According to the 2019 census estimates, Miami/Fort Lauderdale is now the top immigration area in the United States in pure volume.

[As Above So Below...]

Thanks for that TrafalgarLaw. Are there certain metro areas that are still gaining as much now as they were in 2016? Miami and Houston seem to be at the top of their game.

[Ant131531]

Houston is becoming a metro that is more reliant on international migration rather than domestic which is odd because it's still a fairly cheap metro area. Oil and Energy is a very global industry so I guess it makes sense.

[TheTimidBlueBars]

Huh. The NYC metro has 3x the population loss of the Chicago metro, but more than 3x the gain from international migration. That suggests NYC is actually doing worse than Chicago in terms of domestic migration.

[btownboss4]

Something interesting is Cincinnati not Columbus grew the most last year in Ohio (if you trust y/y growth which I really don’t)

Cincinnati grew by a pretty robust 108,000 since 2010.

Just thinking about this...in the last 9 recorded years, the Dallas MSA has added more people that the entirety of Hartford's MSA, and Houston has added more people that the entirety of Buffalo's MSA.

Well, boo hoo. There are actually Durham city residents living in Raleigh's county, but Durham is not in the Raleigh-Cary MSA. The same is true for some residents of Raleigh and Cary living in the Durham-Chapel Hill MSA.
Charlotte is larger than both Nashville and the Triangle, no matter how it's measured, but the Triangle is actually larger and growing faster than greater Nashville. The Triangle just gets shortchanged in visibility/data due to having separate MSAs.
As for the hour drive thing being a determinant of a CSA, you can daisy chain Winston-Salem>Greensboro>Durham>Raleigh>(almost )Fayetteville using that logic.
It's Charlotte's and Nashville's isolation from other mid-major core cities that allows them to have such large MSAs and CSAs in the first place.

Harris County doesn’t surprise. How many years has it been on losing domestic residences now within the past 5 years?

Also surprised to see Fairfax County, VA listed.

I wonder what’s going on in Harris County.

It's funny how Houston and Dallas are getting more international immigration than San Antonio, which is closer to the Border
