Examining County Migration: 2010-2016

.. tools and data to examine U.S. by county migration 2010 to 2016 … is the population moving away or into your counties of interest? What are the trends; what is causing the change? What are the characteristics of the population moving in and out? How might this impact your living environment and business?

The total net international migration among all counties 7/1/2010 – 7/1/2016 was 5,641,260, an annual average of 940,432. The sum of net domestic migration among counties is zero by definition, but domestic migration among counties varies radically by size and direction. This section is focused on U.S. by county migration from 2010 to 2016. Migration is one component of change used to develop population estimates. See more about county population estimates and components of change in this related Web section.

Examining Population Components of Change
– net migration and natural change
Population change can be examined in terms of components of change. There are three components of change: births, deaths, and migration. The change in the population from births and deaths is often combined and referred to as natural increase or natural change. Populations grow or shrink depending on if they gain people faster than they lose them. Examining a county’s unique combination of natural change and migration provides insights into why its population is changing and how quickly the change is occurring.

Appalachia Region & County Population Trends

Posted on April 2, 2016 | Leave a comment

.. examining how is the Appalachia population changing and why .. Appalachia is a region that includes parts of 13 states and has long been challenged with poverty. The population of Appalachia increased from 25,184,339 in 2010 to 25,449,932 in 2015. The extended report below, developed using the ProximityOne Regional Data Analytics tool, in combination with GIS tools provide insights into why, how and where the population change has occurred since 2010.

Patterns of Appalachia County Population Trends 2010-2015
Appalachia counties are shown in the following graphic with the black bold boundary. The thematic pattern map shows how counties have gained population (blue and green) and lost population (orange and red) during the period 2010 to 2015. It is easy to see clusters of counties that are increasing or losing population and why. Counties increasing in population are shown by the dominant factor contributing to their growth — net migration or natural change (where births exceed deaths). Counties decreasing in population are shown by the dominant factor contributing to their population loss — net migration or natural change (where deaths exceed births).

Summary of Population Change
Appalachia has increased in population since 2010 due to both net migration and natural increase. The analyses show that during the 2010 to 2015 period, the Appalachia population:
• increased by 1,688,832 births
• experienced 1,562,810 deaths
• had a natural increase (births less deaths) of 126,022 population
• increased by 166,990 net international migration
• increased by 53,209 net domestic migration
• had a net migration of 220,199 population

County Population & Components of Change Trends

Posted on May 1, 2015 | Leave a comment

.. new/updated annual county population estimates … counties, and county equivalent areas such as independent cities, are the primary political subdivision of states.  The relative stable geography of counties, with good national scope geographic granularity, makes these areas appealing for use in tabulating data as well as analyzing data. This section provides information on tools and data related to accessing, integrating analyzing county demographic-economic patterns and trends focused on the latest official county population and components of change estimates (through 2014, released March 2015). See related Web page for more details.

Using GIS Tools to Examine Patterns of Population & Change
The following view illustrates use of Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to visually examine demographic characteristics of Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC MSA region by county. The thematic/color pattern shows percent population change 2010-2014. Labels show county 2014 population. Develop this type of view for any metro or region.

Population Components of Change
Annual population and components of change estimates for each county, 2010 though 2014, are included in the dataset used in the create the map shown above. Similar thematic pattern maps can be generated for any county/region for any of these items, or computed items such as birth rate.

Population components of change are shown in the population identity:
P[i,t] = P[i,t-1] + B[i,t] – D[i,t] + MD[i,t] +MI[i,t]
for the ith geographic area; t: year
where the components of population change are:
  – B[i,t] … births in area i in year t
  – D[i,t] … deaths in area i in year t
  – MD[i,t] … domestic migration in area i in year t
  – MI[i,t] … international migration in area i in year t

County Population & Components of Change Interactive Table
Use the interactive table in the related Web section to interactively view, rank, compare annual population and population components of change for all states and 3,143 counties. For counties that are part of a metropolitan area, the table includes the new and previous metro (CBSA) codes.

The following graphic illustrates use of the interactive table. A query is used to view only those counties in the Charlotte metro. These rows/records are then sorted (dbl-click column header) on the Census 2010 population.

.. state population dynamics are changing. Learn more about how states are changing and why — using tools and resources reviewed here. Examine how these changes might impact you.

Births as one component of change … births in the U.S. for the years 2011 through 2014 are estimated at 3.97M, 3.94M, 3.96M and 3.96M (birth rates of 12.80, 12.58, 12.54, 12.46). This relatively flat pattern varies substantially by state and region. The Northeast, Midwest and West regions experienced declining births 2010-14, while the South region had a modest increase. View extensive detail on the population and population components of change in the interactive table below. Sort, rank compare states and regions based on single years or change over time. Use our GIS project to visually examine patterns. Details below. These new 2014 state population and components of change (births, deaths, migration) estimates were released December 23 and will update with 2015 estimates in late 2015. See the related Web section with interactive table and more details.

State Migration Patterns, 2010-2014
The following view shows patterns of total cumulative state net migration for the years 2011-2014 (7/1/10 to 7/1/14). See inset legend. The label shows total state net migration for the period as a percent of 2014 total population. In expanded view, the top label shows the total state net migration for the period and the bottom label shows total state net migration for the period as a percent of 2014 total population.

Importance of these Data; Projecting Future Patterns
These data are important. They tell stakeholders how the population is changing, when, and where by state, multi-state regions and for the U.S.; overall. Annual measures of population change provide insights into recent patterns and how the population might change during the next few years. These data do not, in general, tell us why the population is changing. More detailed estimates of state and sub-state 2014 population by age, gender and race origin will be released between now and mid-2015.

These historical data, based on facts or near-facts, are used in models to develop projections of how the population size, characteristics and distribution might evolve in the years ahead. The projections need to be updated annually to reflect the more factually based estimates. The models endeavor to capture/specify the why of population change and how change manifests itself by age, gender and race/origin — and the all important where and when.
