The nation’s largest internal migration flow is happening right here in Southern California.
The United State Census Bureau tracks and reports migration data throughout the country, indicating which places are becoming more desirable to live and which are losing their populations. Their more recent report revealed a surprising truth: one of the most significant migrations flows currently occurring in our nation is right in our own backyard.
From 2009 to 2013, the biggest migration flow in the United States was from Los Angeles and Orange counties eastward to Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Largely thanks to this flow of people, those Inland Empire counties became the top areas of population growth in the state of California over those four years. In fact, between 2000 and 2010, these two counties attributed to a third of the entire state’s population growth by drawing 1 million people. In the time since then, another 200,000 people have flocked to this part of the Inland Empire.
Some of that growth has been offset by the fact that over 54,000 people went the other direction: from San Bernardino and Riverside counties to Los Angeles and Orange counties. Even so, the single largest metro migration flow in the country was from Los Angeles’ metro area to Riverside’s.
