Forbes' interactive feature, "Where Americans Are Moving"
John Bruner at Forbes took IRS migration data from data.gov and built a slick, interactive map that shows the net inflow or outflow of people from one county into another.
If you click on Los Angeles, you'll see a bunch of red lines emanating from the county, indicating that a greater number of people moved from the county than to it. There's also a pretty tight knot of black lines, indicating that more people from counties in the northeastern United States came to LA than left LA for the northern environs.
San Francisco, on the other hand, appears to have more black lines than red lines, indicating that more people came to the City by the Bay than left it.
This interactive graphic pulls from data hosted at the increasingly useful data.gov. Hat tip to Nathan Yau at FlowingData for pointing it out. Check out the map here.
