I'm surprised to see that more peole are moving out of the state than moving in. We are being flooded with immigrants frmo SE Asia, Somalia and Mexico. Our cold weather certainly does cause many, especially retirees to move south, but the general gain in population is higher than all the surrounding states in the midwest.
The Twin Cities and the belt between Rochester, Mpls-StP, and St. Cloud is growing by leaps and bounds.
According to the article, or how I read it, they are looking at migration within the US and not immigrant effects. It could be that an area would experience a population increase, due to immigrants, at the same time as more people leave for other States than come in from other States.
I recntly read an article about the colonization of the Midwest with Somalians. Really incredible what you people will tolerate.
