I'm just inland of San Francisco, and I'd honestly love some -20c winter nights to balance out the 40c summer days.

I mean you have to have soil and biomatter/water to keep the temps from fluctuating like that. Perhaps this is something you can work on :D

If we count exterminations of birds then USA, Aotearoa, and the Porto-Dutch Pact have decisively carried the Bird Wars for the loser countries. Humans: 1 Birds: 0

These maps are always interesting to me. For example, I'm surprised Hawaii's percentage is relatively low. Obviously they get plenty of tourists, but I didn't know they received that much internal migration from other states as well. Do people go there to retire, like they do with Florida?

I think it's a mix between people going there because it's a pretty attractive destination, but also the people who were born in the state leaving for other parts. And I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people born in Hawaii end up leaving to pursue a career or education, since the island would have pretty limited possibilities. It also might be one of the cheaper places for Asian and Pacific immigrants to get to, which is why it already has such a large Japanese community.

The only one I really know what's going on is Arizona, since it's gone through such an explosion of population growth in the last few decades. Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia might just be passing their population around between themselves. I guess DC is also a city, where naturally populations of cities tend to leave or bring in people from afar, even if it's just moving from the city proper to suburbs.

There's that, and there's also quite a large military population in a state with a relatively small population to begin with. Military and Federal workers (as well as contractors) are also a big reason why the states around DC stand out so much, along with there being a big metro area that straddles state lines.

In what world is Hawaii a cheap destination? The japanese population is largely there from a long time ago. There's vastly easier and cheaper flights to get from Asia to LA, say, than to get to Hawaii. And once you get there, it's the most expensive state by a ludicrous margin. And largely without the benefits of higher wages to compensate. Living in Hawaii is tough.



Goes without saying the struggle largely hits native hawaiians. But you'll still face insane prices as White WhiteWhite Beauregard Stanford III if you want it to be your sunbelt retirement destination.
