Geographic Mobility: 2012 Five Year ACS County to County Migration Flows

The American Community Survey (ACS) asks respondents age 1 year and over whether they lived in the same residence 1 year ago. For people who lived in a different residence, the location of their previous residence is collected. The ACS then uses a series of monthly samples to produce estimates. The 5-year ACS data set is used for the county-to-county migration flows since many counties have a population less than 20,000. The first 5-year ACS data set covers the years 2005 through 2009, and the most recent one covers 2009 to 2012.

Below are two maps, focused mainly on New York State, which shows the net migration flow from county to county for both Herkimer and for Oneida Counties.
