Magnet and Sticky: A Study on State-to-State Migration in the US

were magnet and sticky, while others were
found that some states
neither. There were also states that were only magnet or only sticky.

sticky scales respectively. Florida is a good example of a state that
ranks high on both) Seventy percent of its current adult population was
born in another state; at the same time, 66% of adults born in Florida are
still living there. (On the other hand, West Virginia is neither magnet
(only 27%) nor particularly sticky (49%). (In other words, it has few
newcomers, and relatively few West Virginians stay there. Michigan is
a typical example of a state which is highly sticky, but very low magnet,
