US Migration; On A Per Capita Basis, Chicago Has Bragging Rights -- September 1, 2019

Interactive map, US census, migration flows by county: link here.

From Bloomberg:

New York leads all U.S. metro areas as the largest net loser with 277 people moving every day -- more than double the exodus of 132 just one year ago.

Los Angeles and Chicago were next with triple digit daily losses of 201 and 161 residents, respectively.

This is according to 2018 Census data on migration flows to the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas compiled by Bloomberg News.

At the other end of the spectrum, seven cities had on average more than 100 new arrivals every day. Dallas, Phoenix, Tampa, Orlando, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Austin saw substantial inflows from both domestic and international migration. Sun Belt cities Houston and Miami claimed the 8th and 9th spots in the ranking. Seattle was the only cold-weather destination among the top 10.

While New York is experiencing the biggest net exodus, the blow is being softened by international migrant inflows. From July 2017 to July 2018, a net of close to 200,000 New Yorkers sought a new life outside the Big Apple while the area welcomed almost 100,000 net international migrants.

The second most attractive locale for international migrants was Miami with an addition of 93,000, followed by Los Angeles, Houston, Boston and the nation’s capital, Washington D.C.

Again, no denominators.

Again, no denominators. 

In raw numbers, NYC may be first in terms of out-migration, but "per 100,000" population, Chicago is more than double that of NYC. 

New York, population: 9.623 million

• 277*365 = 101,105
• 1,050/100,000

Los Angeles, population: 4.0 million

• 201*365 = 73,365
• 1,834/100,000

Chicago, population: 2.716 million

• 161*365 = 58,765
• 2,164/100,000

From the article, repeating:

So, who moves out of NYC, Chicago? Those who can afford to move, i.e. those paying taxes. Who are moving into NYC? Well, according to the article, international migrants. You know: the ones who have million-dollar incomes and paying taxes. LOL.
