Demographia: Domestic Migration: Moving to Smaller Metropolitan Areas
[please note - all text below is quoted verbatim from an e-mail authored by Wendell Cox]
Latest US Census Bureau data continues to show heavy domestic losses in the largest metropolitan areas. From 2000 to 2005, metropolitan areas over 5 million lost 2.7 million population through domestic migration. Metropolitan areas between 250,000 and 5,000,000 gained approximately the same amount. In many metropolitan areas, the loss in domestic migration was offset by international migration.
