Fordgalaxy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I suspect more people move away from their general birth area than don't, but that's just a hunch, until now. This will be the definitive poll to ascertain the facts surrounding this popular belief, or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I still live in the city I was born in. The furthest I've ever lived outside of it was probably five miles or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 A lot of people from PA stay in PA. I was actually born in the midwest, was raised in Pittsburgh, lived in 5 other states and then ended up back in Pennsylvania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Live in Upland, born in a hospital in Pomona and my birth residence was in Rowland Heights.

That One Guy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Poll could use different options. Someone moving from southern to central Utah carries as much weight as the TRFer that moved from south to north America, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 According to google... 7,330 miles/11,796 kilometers from the town I grew up in to my current one.6,901 miles/11,106 kilometers from my birth town to my current one. It still will probably end up being about 40% for those living less than 50 miles from their birth town, as some studies have shown (for Americans anyway).
