Notes
  • Using the U.S. Census Bureau's County-to-County Migration File and Public Use Microdata Sample File, we investigated California's interstate migrants between 1995 and 2000. After mapping and discussing the spatial patterns of migrants' origin and destination counties, we calculated percentages of college graduates and detailed industries of employment for Non-Hispanic White, Latino, Black, and Asian migrants. To examine migrants' social and economic fit at their destinations, we compared them to longer-term residents of both California and other leading destinations. In all cases inmigrants to California had higher percentages of college graduates than did their ethnic group in origin states, and in nearly all cases inmigrants raised the percentage of college graduates of their ethnic group in California. Migrants from California worked in destination-state industries at similar or slightly lower rates than non-migrant residents, but migrants to California were better represented in higher-status industries than longer-resident Californians.
