#3Kinda weird to see myself as a statistic. My wife and I are two of fourteen people that moved from Santa Fe county to Santa Clara county in 2008. I want to find the others now :)

#4 - Orange County, CA is pretty interesting. There is a lot of migration inwards from the East Coast/Upper Midwest (e.g. PA, MI), but lots of migration outwards throughout the country. [http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-in...]
- Oakland County [http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-in...] (Ann Arbor, U of M, Slashdot) and Wayne County (Detroit) [link:http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-in...] in Michigan have mass flight.
- Multnomah County, OR [http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-in...] is a bunch of solid black lines from throughout the country. Everyone wants to be in Portland, but the Oregon unemployment numbers are comparable to Michigan, IIRC.
- Polk County, FL [http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-in...] seems to have mass migration from the East Coast, while leaking people the the west.
- Erie [http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/04/migration-moving-wealthy-in...] (Buffalo, NY/Niagara Falls, NY) County in upstate New York seems to have seen a mass flight too.
[update] On re-reading my comments, you might take the numbers from Oakland County with a grain of salt. Ann Arbor is a college town to a large university, so some of that flight may just be people taking jobs after graduating (or dropping out of university and moving home).

#5No one else is concerned about the abuse of IRS data?
Apparently it's possible to do an end-run around "legally protected" census data via IRS data.
ps. I can see Microsoft's recruiting patterns from colleges with this map.

Nice one! Detroiters should get the reference.
Ahh, not surprised one bit. That place is where I was raised, but alas, I was a part of that mass exodus. Besides family (and some awesome Mexican food), I don't miss the city one bit.
There is NOTHING in Detroit. NOTHING! It's as depressing as it is telling. I feel this exodus is a vicious cycle that won't stop anytime soon. No one is there, hence no new money is being invested, thus more people move...ad infinitum.
The primary culture of the youth (read: thugs) isn't helping one bit either -- they tend to get more dangerous and erratic each year.
If you have any questions about growing up in Detroit, feel free to ask!

#8There seems to be a lot of movement, in general, out of the northeast, particularly to the southwest.

Here's a question: how the hell did you get awesome Mexican food that far away from Mexico? I hear people from Texas and California talk about awesome Mexican food, but never Detroit.

#10Any sense of where to get the source data?
I wonder what the first principal eigenvector looks like.
