10 Cities with The Highest Out Migration in America

9. Hanford – Corcoran, CA

Net migration: -7,845

Hanford – Corcoran metro area is just a tad bit south from Fresno going by California State Routes 99 and 43 respectively. It’s a much smaller community than Fresno, but its negative net migration is even larger. Net migration rate ( the difference between immigrants and emigrants divided by 1,000 citizens) amounts to -52, and needless to say, this is the lowest net migration rate figure on this list by far. Playing with more accurate figures, Hanford – Corcoran metro area, has received 1,038 international immigrants, but it has also lost 8,883 of its citizens due to emigration. This is the main reason the city’s overall population has declined by 1.3% over the course of those three years.

8. Milwaukee – Waukesha – West Allis, WI

Net migration: -8,825

Half of Wisconsin’s counties are exhibiting a population decline, and state’s largest metro area is no different. Milwaukee – Waukesha – West Allis have at least managed to grow by meager 0.9% between 2010 and 2013. In precise figures, that would be a growth of 13,751 people. Natives have, however, decided to pack their bags and go in even greater number. 15,876 citizens have left greater Milwaukee during those three years, and hadn’t it been for 7,042 international migrants – Brew City would be in a certain decline.
