The George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis (CRA) has released a new update from its Census series that traces patterns of migration and population growth in the Washington metro area relative to employment growth. The report, entitled, “Characteristics of Population Change and Migration in Washington Metro Area (WMA) and Other Major U.S. Metro Areas, 2011-2012,” illustrates that, in spite of slower employment growth in 2012, the Washington metro area continued to experience rapid population growth. The report further documents how the Washington metro area still outpaced other major metros in terms of attracting young, educated migrants during 2012.
The report can be downloaded here.
