Study shows people are moving to … Michigan?
We came across this interesting summary article by MSNBC.com’s The Bottom Line, which draws from a study performed by Atlas World Group on migration patterns among states. We were pleased to learn that after six years of drain, Michigan became a balanced state! Read an excerpt of the story below or the full study at the link that follows!
by Eve Tahmincioglu of MSNBC.com
In the last year, more people relocating for jobs became Texans and Virginians than New Yorkers and Kansans.
At least those were the findings of a relocation study recently released by Atlas Van Lines, one of the nation’s largest moving companies. Overall, the number of moves nationally, which were mainly due to new job placement, increased by 7 percent last year to 80,289, up from 74,541 a year ago.
“Our annual migration patterns study is an interesting gauge of the economy, where economic development is taking place and trends to follow throughout the upcoming year,” said Jack Griffin, president and COO of Atlas World Group, which reviews moving patterns annually. “These new findings are especially promising, as we saw the number of moves increase yet again across North America.”
Washington, D.C., had the highest percentage of inbound moves for the sixth year in a row, while Ohio continued to have the highest percentage of outbound migrators.
But the surprise was Michigan, which for the first time in six years went from a state where people headed out of more than they headed in, to a state with a split between inbound and outbound relocaters.

Midwestern states
Again seeing the majority of its states with more outbound than inbound moves, the Midwest region only has three balanced states — Iowa, South Dakota and Michigan. Despite uncertain economic conditions, Michigan became a balanced state following a six-year streak as an outbound state. Wisconsin, Nebraska and Kansas finished 2011 as outbound states — all of which were previously classified as balanced states for seven, nine and 10 years in a row, respectively.
