Migration

Pretty great interactive maps showing migration into and out of each state between 1900 and today.  Texans are either wildly happy and loyal or just big ole stick-in-the-muds.  Of course, you can do a lot of migrating and stay within the Texas borders.

Of course, you can do a lot of migrating and stay within the Texas borders.

IIRC, El Paso is closer to Los Angeles than it is to Orange on the TX border with Louisiana.

Like the Butch Hancock song says,"You can drive all day and never leave Texas. You can drive all day and never leave home."

*raises hand* Stuck in the mud, or a yo-yo. I keep leaving and coming back, leaving for a few years and coming back . . .

That's nothing. Texas goes from 67% native born in 1900 to 61% in 2012.

Pennslyvania was at 77% in 1900 and is at 74% today.

I'm odd for having moved to the place.
