What's going on with San Jose and San Francisco? I'm sure it's been talked about at some length on the California forum, but I never go over that way.

A lot of people have moved out but only to our immediate neighboring metros(Sacramento, Stockton and Modesto are growing quite briskly due to the influx of Bay Area families seeking nicer homes at lower prices)-its not really a shock to people here but its taxing our freeways and hurting the environment and whatnot. This is why so many people from the area hypothesize about the area one day combining into one gigantic metro.

I would assume most people would be suprised that Metro Chicago experiences greater net domestic out-flow than Metro Detroit.

I have to admit I'm suprised Kansas City experiences a net domestic in-flow... it's pretty much the only non-Sunbelt/Portland city that experiences that.

It's interesting that KC is the only cold weather metro that has net in-migration.

KC also has an unusually high number of people not born in KS/MO...

Percent of the Native Population Born in their State of Residence: 2006

Kansas City, MO-KS Metro Area 56.6 (43.4% not born in state)
United States 67.4
Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, IL-IN-WI Metro Area 76.3
Cincinnati-Middletown, OH-KY-IN Metro Area 71.2
Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, OH Metro Area 79.1
Indianapolis-Carmel, IN Metro Area 72.0
St. Louis, MO-IL Metro Area 72.6
Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, WI Metro Area 77.6
Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI Metro Area 71.0

It would be really interesting to see a list of metropolitan birth and death rates, and a list of immigration rates (though, for metros with alot of illegal immigrants it wouldn't give an accurate picture) to give a more comprehensive picture.

I'd also like to see where a place like Vegas MSA would rank. I know it's not a Top 30 Metro (#31 that has probably already passed San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA), but the percentage and sheer numbers would be crazy.
