Coming and Going

The U.S. Census Bureau put some cool new data out today that shows how many people moved between every county in the country, from year to year.

They call it “County-to-County Migration Flows,” and it shows interesting geographic mobility connections between different communities.

I’m crunching some data for a full story right now, but here’s one taste: The most common new home for erstwhile Honolulu residents was San Diego County. An estimated 2,167 people packed their bags for that one-way trip, according to the American Community Survey.

Want the rest of the list? How about where Honolulu residents are moving here from? Maybe some data for the other Hawaii counties? I’ll have all that and more up on Civil Beat soon.
