Wouldn't scaling by the size of the cities make it even harder to judge where people are actually going or moving away from? Maybe you're looking for something

Wouldn't scaling by the size of the cities make it even harder to judge where people are actually going or moving away from? Maybe you're looking for something different in the data than I am, but it seems like that would obscure the most important numbers.
- ars 12y agoIt depends on what you do. If you are coloring the whole US by movement then use the absolute values. But if you are making a chart, or making circles then you have to. To see this, look at a large-circle city. Now imagine that same city has two neighborhoods, and you list them separately, now suddenly your large circle becomes two small circles, or the top-ranking city on your chart is suddenly a middling city Yet nothing actually changed in how people move!
