I’m not sure that’s like for like. Moving state in the US is not comparable with moving between European countries because of linguistic differences. Moving to another city in the same country is popular. And even in terms of not moving city the image of people settling down in the same part of the city that they grew up and all being near their high school friends is just not reality.

It's not in general, but the topic here is keeping in touch with your friends and family, not the relative culture shock of moving domestically or internationally. The real metric you'd want is travel time to "home base" in hours. I'm just suggesting that inter-state/country moves are a useful fuzzy approximation of that.
