The Evolving U. S. Internal Migration Network | | Paul B. Slater

19 Sep 2008 | | Abstract: | We present master dendrograms descriptive of the rich geographical and
sociological evolving tapestry of the United States--as reflected in the
1965-1970 and 1995-2000 migration flows between the 3,000+ county-level units.
Our results are derived using a demonstratedly-insightful two-stage
methodology--double-standardization of the recorded flows followed by (strong
component) hierarchical clustering. Invariant over the thirty-year period are
certain tightly-knit migration regions--for example, Connecticut, Hawaii and
"South Jersey". Broad "cosmopolitan" or "hub-like" migration to and from
"Sunbelt" counties (Clark County, Nevada [Las Vegas], for instance) became
relatively more conspicuous and migration associated with counties with large
military installations (Pierce County, Washington [Fort Lewis and McChord Air
Force Base], for example), less so. Further, the most cosmopolitan units for
1965-70 (the paired Chicago metropolitan counties of Cook and DuPage, Illinois,
and the District of Columbia heading the list) were more cosmopolitan in
character than the leading ones in the later analysis. Applying a
graph-theoretic isolation criterion, we extract particularly distinct large
multicounty migration regions, well describable as "French Louisiana",
"Northern Lower Michigan", "Northern New England",... | | Source: | arXiv, 0809.2768 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
