I know that when I drive home, all my neighbors know that I'm back because of the license plate on the car I drove there so I'd say that isn't a common occurrence. I also don't ever see many NY plates that are non rentals when I'm back in Michigan either.
Probably just visitors or rental cars. They might not even be from NYC but Buffalo or Schenectady... who knows.
I've been noticing an increase in Midwestern license plates in Queens over the past year or so, specifically in and around Astoria and LIC; Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, etc... Wouldn't be that surprised if these are newly arrived transplants judging by the local economies of Midwestern cities and towns like Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland.
Michigan as a whole has been in a downward economic spiral for years and I know a lot of people born in Michigan have moved to New York and other states. They all say the same thing--no jobs in Michigan even if you are well educated. Working at Wal-Mart or Target is considered a good postion there. I imagine a lot of people drive home rather than fly.
Anyway, its just speculation on my part.
