People keep coming
The latest U.S. Census data confirms that people are moving to North Carolina in large numbers. N.C. State University's Mike Walden reviews finding from the report on migration between states from 2000 to 2004.
"Over that time period North Carolina has averaged 39,000 new people moving here from other places. And that ranks us sixth fastest in terms of in-migration in the country behind states like Florida, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia," says Dr. Walden, an economist with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
"In contrast, states in the Midwest and Northeast, plus California, are losing people. Just to give you one example, New York State is losing an average of 182,000 people each year."
