I assume there's something wrong with the data. I cannot imagine SF being the largest source for Chicago in- or out-migration, simply because SF isn't particularly populous.
How could SF draw more in-out migration, than, say, NYC or LA? Unless there is some obvious SF-Chi connection (and I can't think of one) it wouldn't make much sense to have 10x the proportional migration numbers as closer cities to Chi.
If I had to guess, the biggest in- and out-migration numbers would be to/from nearby metros. Detroit, Indy, Milwaukee, St. Louis, would be the leaders. If you meet someone in Chicago who's new in town, there's a good chance they're from a nearby Great Lakes-area state. If you meet a relocatee in Detroit or St. Louis or Twin Cities, there's a decent chance they're from Chicagoland.
