The Net Migration tool from the UW Applied Population Lab allows users to access a migration profile for each Wisconsin County for the decade starting in 2010. Each pdf report contains migration comparisons to the state, Midwest, country, and to similar counties within the state along with age-group patterns.
User expertise rating:
Beginner. This tool gives users access to pdf reports using a pull-down menu of Wisconsin Counties.
Sample questions:
Which counties are retirement destinations seeing a net influx of residents aged 60 and older, and what are the implications of this shift for local volunteer recruitment, caregiver support programs, and age-friendly infrastructure? Which counties are attracting young families—identified by the simultaneous net in-migration of children and adults in their 30s and 40s—and how should this influence program development?
