Mapping migration in the US

[SusieQQQ]

Interesting chart from the NYT.
Maps states by migration - % of people living there who were born there, from another region in the US, or immigrated.

NB - read the text - explains it and pretty interesting. The above is controlled for income so for example NY's relative unhappiness is interpreted as people sacrificing well being for income.

Also of interest maybe: a lot of those rankings shows Colorado cities very high on the "best places to live" rankings, and it is one of the happiest states on this map too.

Not unexpected - Colorado is easily America's best state.

Yet all the would be immigrant threads focus on California vs Florida
