Economic Improvement Nudges U.S. Migration to Normal

March 15, 2013, William H. Frey
We still are a country that's kind of divided, and a lot of that fissure in the population tends to be based in race and age and ethnicity. There's kind of a dangerous result in this election when we see older whites moving in one direction and younger minorities moving in another direction.

What’s constant in this country is its ability to adapt—adapt to people with changing backgrounds, people with changing attitudes. But Hispanics really are a very big part of America’s present and future. And they’re not clustered in one area. They’ve been fanning out to all parts of the United States, and by moving into new parts of the country ...they’re becoming accepted by these communities.

The long-term scenario [for Rhode Island] will be at best tepid population gain. It’s quite likely that the state could lose a Congressional seat, as it barely retained its second seat after the past census. If it loses its second seat, it will be the first time the state had one seat since 1793.

A Modest Population Bounce Back for the Sun Belt and the Nation

December 21, 2012, William H. Frey

What’s new here [in the recently released Census data] is that it shows there’s a pulse in the urban core, in big metro areas that have diverse economies. It’s interesting that Chicago and New York were the top ones, which suggests these are places that will attract young and well-off people who want to feel like they live in an important area. You can’t generalize entirely, of course, because while some urban cores are doing very well, others are still part of a broader suburban trend.

The Changing Geography of Metropolitan Poverty

September 20, 2012, Elizabeth Kneebone
I think there is at least a hint that we have hit bottom in this post-recession malaise in the United States. And by that I mean we've not turned up, but we're going down at a slower pace, and we might see a little bit of the glimmer of the light at the end of the tunnel.
September 20, 2012, William H. Frey, National Public Radio
On many levels we are continuing to slide in the wrong direction [in terms of recovery] but just at a much slower pace. Now inter-state migration is picking up, it's still below 2007 levels, on a number of measures we are not moving down as quickly as we were. It seems the worst is over.

Demographic Reversal: Cities Thrive, Suburbs Sputter

June 29, 2012, William H. Frey
In short, cities are starting this decade in a stronger growth position than in the 2000s.
June 28, 2012, William H. Frey, USA Today
City growth in recent years clearly has ramped up faster than suburban growth has declined, suggesting an increased attractiveness of cities.
