Characteristics of movers to and from Upstate New York
By Robin M. Blakely-Armitage and Jan Vink Cornell University
According to recent American Community Survey data, more people moved out of Upstate New York to another state than moved in (2007-2011). In fact, only 85.5 persons moved in for every 100 who left. While this out-migration trend has caused concern, the characteristics of those entering and leaving the region have also attracted attention. The chart below examines net migration along a variety of movers’ characteristics, including age, sex, income, educational ttainment, and poverty status. For example, for every 100 people age 70-74 who move out of the Upstate region, only 43 move in (a net decrease in this age group). In comparison, 149 people in the 18-19 year old age group move to Upstate for every 100 that move away (a net increase). These migration patterns - not to mention their net effects on the region’s human capital - present challenges and opportunities for Upstate communities and the region as a whole. In the May Issue of the NY Minute, we will examine where Upstate New Yorkers are moving to, and where recent arrivals to Upstate have moved from.
