Ill ask my contact at EWG if they have a 2000 and on map.roger wyoming II wrote:^ Pretty cool map, but I wish we had say a 2001-2011 map as well to compare more recent trends... it also would be good to know about reasons for outmigration to the south -- mostly retirement? work? decent mix? And also how much of the inflow from out-state Illinois settled in Missouri or just came to Metro East.... Madison Co. has had decent growth during this time period; St. Clair Co. had pretty good population increase in the 90s before dropping in the naughts.
LA (and NYC) has had significant overall domestic out-migration and with its huge population it makes sense that we'd benefit.STLEnginerd wrote: I am amazed there is positive migration from SoCal...
upon further review, St. Clair gained population in the naughts (and had dropped in prior decades) and since 2010 the census estimates a return to decline in St. Clair. Anyway, I suspect that the large majority of the inflow from out-state Illinois went into Metro East rather than crossing over into the Missouri side.roger wyoming II wrote: also how much of the inflow from out-state Illinois settled in Missouri or just came to Metro East....
