More in migration

Earlier, I gave county-to-county numbers based on exemptions claimed on personal income tax returns for 2004 and 05. Here are some state-to-state numbers for West Virginia.

What surprised me was that WV actually had a net gain of 3,852 from migration. Biggest places those net gains came from:

Maryland: 2,822.
Virginia: 1,674.
Foreign: 345.

Now for the largest net losses to other states:
Florida: 706.
South Carolina: 375.
Kentucky: 329.
