Wild Map Shows Flow of People to and From Michigan
Michigan lost net population in 2012. See where it went.
Which states would you guess Michigan exchanges the most population with?
A wild new data visualization shows how people move between states. Created by Chris Walker, the interactive map shows the Mitten State sends and receives the most people with Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Texas and Arizona.
The data comes from 2012, when Michigan lost nearly 42,000 residents.
Head over to Walker's site, viznary.com, to experience the map. Hat tip to the Atlantic Cities, which aptly compared the full map to "peering into the scope of an alien hyper-rifle."
