Do New Englanders relocate to other areas of the U.S. more often than people from other geogaphical areas?

I haven't been able to find any research that can tell us if it is definitel y so, but being a New Englander myself I can tell you that the weather is a big factor. The winters are harsh and rather depressing at times. Also there is a belief here that most of the good jobs are being taken in this region and to be able to find a decent job now or to find cheaper housing, you have to move to the apparently economically developing midwest or the southwest.

Well, most of my family settled in Northeastern Ohio.  But, most went where they could find work, so just about every state.

No! They just find life better in the US and in Europe. Most Indians who come to the US and Europe come as doctors and other high valued jobs. Since most Indians who come to the US or Europe are really smart and good at what they do, they find jobs very easily.

This question is impossible to answer,and in fact I reckon you're trying to make a point rather than get real answers.It's a valid enough point if you must make it,and many Americans are the first to admit that their knowledge of world geography isn't great,but what I'd like to know is what rioedgebravo is talking about.I'm guessing that he's accusing you of using English that isn't up to par,while at the same time reading your question and misunderstanding it,thinking that 'other' means 'their own.'So perhaps it isn't your English that's so bad.

Southern states usually have more than northern states.

Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maine, Connecticutt, are some more names.  Old England is out of the country. So is Canada.

That is an excellent question, and one that I complain about on a daily basis. It is especially ironic considering the sheer size of the country, and the fact that most current residents of the country came originally from somwhere else.\n\nPart of the reason why Americans (as a whole) remain so geographically ignorant is due to the education system or lack thereof. "More important" topics are being taught or are given a stronger emphasis than "mere" geography. That is the reason why the National Geographical Society was formed, to enhance the spread of knowledge on all things to do with mapping and geography. \n\nAnother reason is, when you are taught only one language (English) and also taught that "America is the only country worth learning about", why should you bother learning about other people's places? And this is despite the fact that this country is so big and important to the WHOLE WORLD, and this country's policies affect the lives of people worldwide, one would think that they would take the time to know more about the cultures and geography of other countries, as well as ensure that they take care when dealing with them, since, as they say, what goes around always comes around. Americans often accuse Britons of being from an "insular" island nation, but based solely on the geographical knowledge that the average American (and their leaders!) exhibit, I think that the shoe is on the other foot now. The only difference is, the American "island" is huge compared to the British Isles.\n\nA third reason is, the more interested you are about something, the more likely it is that you will learn about it. Have you noticed how often it is, that kids can learn all the words to the latest song on the radio, but ask them what they learned in school today, and they will look at you like you asked them to do brain surgery or something?\n\nA fourth reason: parents aren't taking the time to instill in their children a love of learning, and they are not supervising their education. They don't follow up on to make sure that they're doing their homework, and they don't attend Parent-Teacher Conferences. There's a reason why they call the language you speak best your "mother" tongue -- it's because your mother is the one who probably taught it to you in the first place. Any fool can have kids, that's a biological thing, but it takes a special person to be a parent. Parents have to care for all aspects of their children's well-being and development, and that includes their education about the world in which they live.\n\nThose are a few reasons.

Sadly, yes it's true. The farther South or West you go, from anywhere around the D.C. to NYC area, people lighten up quite a bit. \n\nAfter I moved from Colorado, and noticed the major change of attitudes, and I formed a wacky theory.... The MORE people you cram into a SMALL state, the less elbow room and "personal space" each person has. Thus, the more aggressive said individuals must become to be heard, noticed, and generally make their way through day to day life. As such, the "rude" behavior is almost required (not right, but unless you want to be stepped on, required.)

And don't forget that the New England Patriots don't play in 5 of their 6 "home" states. New England is comprised of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. They only play in Massachusetts.

Its not. There have been a couple cases in Africa I believe, but you also need to think about population density and where birds and people are migrating to and from most often. In this case where are birds and people frok Asian moving away from and to. Right now there are a lot of birds migrating in the Northern Hemisphere and so therefore more incidneces in the North. Please check out the CDC web site for more info.

Are you asking about indigenuous/Native Americans or those who came from other countries? \nBoth groups(at different times) initially started with gathering, hunting, fishing and later on, farming.

The colonists named places after some of their home land cities/regions. New York, New England etc. Not the other way around

Most by number would probably be New York or California. Most by percentage would be Massachusettes.

I'm not gonna lie most Americans suck horribly in geography to say the least. I'm from Lithuania, and I could probably count how many times somebody knew where that is, most of the time I just get a blank stare, or "Oh, yeah! I know where that is"... hmmm... yeah, sure you do. Some ppl at least guess close enough to say that it's near Russian... Sadly too many think it's part of the Soviet Union... Just one thing, there is no more Soviet Union!

Yes. We have a fantastic array of cities Seattle, LA, SF. Miami. Vegas, NYC (Broadway), Boston, DC (Smithsonian), etc and national parks/sites-Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Carlsbad Caverns, Mammoth caves, etc. You can live in any manner you want to from a strict religious group, vegetarian circles, gay/lesbian communities, urban, rural etc. Also I think we are the funniest and most artistic people in the world. Have you read a great American novel lately? Yes, I love us.
