An interactive visualization companion to the 2019 Web Conference (WWW) paper Forecasting U.S. Domestic Migration Using Internet Search Queries by Allen Yilun Lin (Northwestern University), Justin Cranshaw (Microsoft Research), and Scott Counts (Microsoft Research).
The interactive maps present 4.2 Million migration queries for housing and jobs between US States, a sample from the 121 Million migration queries used in the analysis presented in the paper. Numbers are rounded and content is very slightly altered for privacy reasons.
