- shmerl 10y agoI wonder why NY in general has a negative trend.
- niftich 10y agoOne theory is that New York's schools are more attractive to people looking to start college than the state's job market, conditions and amenities, and cost-of-living to retain those people after they graduate.
- wbl 10y agoYou can also work in New York City and live in two neighboring states, which changes the stats somewhat.
- dcosson 10y agoNY (along with a few other northeast cities) is somewhat unique in that of people who have kids and then move to the suburbs nearby, which I assume is a pretty significant demographic, a lot of them end up in other states like NJ and CT. But this same cohort pretty much anywhere in, say, California or Texas would not leave the state. Plus there are a lot of schools in NY and a lot of people go to them from far away, which doesn't count in this graphic, but then a bunch of those people move back home after school which does count. And there's a question of how they treat people who move around multiple times, some people probably move away for a few years then come back. Overall because of all the confounding factors, this really isn't a very interesting graph. States seem like a pretty arbitrary split when thinking about this, it would make a lot more sense to be looking at cities.
- thekevan 10y agoThe weather and the economy. Right after college, so many of has visited California, North Carolina, Florida or Colorado and stayed with people we went to high school or college with. In that mix is also NYC. So cities like Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester all experience a "brain drain", and possibly ironically, as well as people leaving to go out of state, a number also go to NYC.
