Can't get my head around it :o

I'm blaming it on the fact it it New Years Day :)

That's a really rather clever way of displaying the information. Hat's off to them. :up:

Yes, but it also holds a big trapdoor, the graphical information does not give you an idea on how many people moved at what directon between two states. The graph between A and B would look the same no matter whether 90% of the people move from A to B, or the other way around, or coming and going people are equal-sized groups. But this is what the real important info in this graph would be.

Or am I missing something?

If you put your mouse over one of the lines a bubble pops up with more detail. :up:

Aha!!...much clearer now :yeah:

The mass movement on at least one state represented is unsurprising. It is both interesting and funny seeing the immigration stats reciprocal from what they used to be :O: :haha:
