"After two centuries of westward expansion, with California being a choice settling spot (there was no more continental west, after all), general U.S. migration patterns now are changing.
It seems parts of the West have become what the settlers were leaving: too crowded, too expensive and lacking in opportunity.

These trends are based on data through 2006.
