Greater Cleveland flightGreater Cleveland lost about 60,000 people and $2 billion in annual income to moves outside the region in 2000-05. This map shows places outside Northeast Ohio which gained the most residents from Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit counties from 2000-05.
OK, Columbus I kind of understand. But what's with all the Cleveburgers moving to Phoenix?!

First, I'm one of those people. -waves-
Second, Phoenix is one of the fastest growing cities in one of the fastest growing states in the union. It's absorbing a lot of people not just from Cleveland.

Funny - I have the opposite reaction. After spending a week in the Tucson area earlier this year, I can definitely understand moving out there, but Columbus??
The next time we move, I want to really move somewhere.

Well, I meant "I understand Columbus" in the context of people from Cleveland relocating. It's only 2 hours away (or less, depending how close one lives to I-71), which makes it convenient for those who still have roots up north. Plus it's close enough that job interviews, house-hunting, relocation, etc. are more convenient.
But yeah, Columbus wouldn't really be at the top of my list otherwise.
I have a rosy view of Tucson because we went there on spring break when I was 8 and it was the first time I remember flying. I remember the San Xavier Mission and going to Indians spring training games at Hi-Corbett Field. Plus cactus. Lots and lots of cactus.
Also, my great-aunt lives there and she reads my blog almost every day. :)

People move to Phoenix for the same reason they leave Cleveland, jobs.
