Those Who Leave Often Don't Go Far

People packed up and left Cuyahoga County at a precedent- setting pace in recent years, but often they didn't move far. The county lost more than 68,000 residents in the five years ending in 2000, the fastest out- migration of any county in Ohio. And newly released census figures show that slightly more than half of them moved just over the county line. The migration of 34,726 residents from Cuyahoga County to its six neighbors in Northeast Ohio accounted for much of the population boom in Medina, Geauga and Portage counties. And people relocating from Cuyahoga to Lorain and Summit helped to replenish the population in those struggling counties.
The article quotes one woman who says the reason she came in the first place was because of the jobs but, "those have kind of dried up". BFD recommends Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream
