Yes, as I noted in the local Philly thread, this data is misleading, as it only captures migration numbers,
NOT total population. When you look at total population of college graduates (which does not narrowly focus on those migrating) Philadelphia comes out as a clear top performer.
This data also looks back to a period starting 13 years ago, which almost seems like an eternity ago. Migration patterns have absolutely shifted since that time, mainly due to affordability.
