Internal migrations 1995-2000
For the most part, migration flows are balanced. Generally, only 10% of
migration between states is “effective” in the sense that it reflects the relationship
between net migration and the index of migratory effects. In absolute values, net
inter-state migration redistributes population mainly from states in the
Manufacturing Belt, from California (-0.5% per year), and from the state of
Louisiana. The state of New York is particularly deficient (-1% per year), while net
outflows from the states of the Great Plains, and from Alaska and Hawaii are
relatively insignificant.
With the exception of Vermont and New Hampshire, the states with a net
migration surplus are all in the South and the West. The largest surpluses are
