Mapping US Migration without a map

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.

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

Why is it that suddenly all those lines lead to Colorado?

Ah.

I hovered the mouse pointer over the circle with state names only.
