The territory that people leave includes part of New Jersey, Connecticut, the lower Hudson Valley and Long Island. Over the 1 year, the number of people who migrated increased from 187.034 in 2015 to 223.423 in 2016. The number of international immigrants who settle in the 3 area of ​​states has also declined. If in 2015, their number was 181.551 people, in 2016 - 160.342.

Denver became the second in terms of the number of internal migrants (6,3%), followed by Houston (4.7%), Dallas-Fort Worth (4,6%) and Portland, Oregon (3.9%), according to census data collected by the metropolis.

The population of New York and its suburbs grew by 2,7% compared to 2010-2016 over the years thanks to foreign migrants.
