The tabs for 1950 and 1900 are interesting too.
Arkansas:
61% native born
5% Texans
4% Californians
3% Missourians
2% Louisianans
5% foreign-born
----the rest.

77% of Michigan residents were born in Michigan. And almost everyone else living there is either from outside the US or other rust belt states.
Ain't nobody from outside Michigan moving to that hellhole.

And in comparison
Moved out of the South
Alabama : 11% moved out of South
Mississippi : 17% moved out of South
Georgia : 9% moved out of South
South Carolina : 10% moved out of South
Tennessee : 10% moved out of South
So 10% of the Midwest is moving to the South and 90% of the South is staying in the South.
Not hard to see what area of the country is growing and which is contracting.

Yeah the diaspora section is interesting, too. Arkansas contributed a lot of people to California in the Dust Bowl 30s & 40s. I know at least two people born in California who moved to Arkansas as kids, partially because their family maintained ties here over the years and still had relatives here.

Yea, and a lot of black southerners moved to Chicago and Detroit in the 30's-50's, but have since started moving back.
More numbers
New York - 17% moved to the South
New Jeresy - 15% moved to the South
Connecticut - 14% moved to the South
Pennsylvania - 11% moved to the South
Delaware - 13% moved to the South
Maine - 13% moved to the South
Rhode Island - 14% moved to the South
Massachusetts - 11% moved the South
It is incredible. In 1950 the highest rates of movement to the South were roughly 4-5%. Now every northeast and midwest state is between 10-20%.

Wow, those dust bowl states in the early-mid 1900's are incredible.
In 1960 only 52% of people born in Oklahoma stayed in Oklahoma. 27% moved to California or Texas.

Arkansas didn't get above 60% retention until 2000. Incredible.

Its true. The Joads were from Sallisaw, which is actually considered a part of the Fort Smith, AR metro today. 
Western Arkansas had a lot of small-time cotton operations and such in the mountain valleys prior to the dust bowl. Topsoil was too shallow and soils too poor overall so that sent lots fleeing west. Arkies and Okies, etc.
Arkansas has had a situation where when one half of the state had a decent economy, the other half languished. When eastern Arkansas's farm economy was healthy, the western side suffered big losses. Now that NW Arkansas is booming, eastern Arkansas is bleeding population for a few decades.

I bet we have a whole bunch from Mexico and a small bunch from Louisiana and California
Posted on 2/13/15 at 2:05 pm to SummerOfGeorge
All over. Thought the numbers would be higher from Oregon and Washington but we're from all over the place.

Texas:
61% Native born
17% Foreign (so many Mexicans)
3% California
2% Louisiana
1% Oklahoma/Illinois
Less than 1% the rest
