I can add some insight as one of the age cohort being written about here. As twenty-somethings, we left Ohio for tech jobs in Northern California. Our parents, who were just reaching retirement age, relocated to Florida around the same time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-6766461313260618322008-01-14T11:01:00.000-05:002008-01-14T11:01:00.000-05:00Many of the retirement facilities I have stepped i...Many of the retirement facilities I have stepped into in the area seem to have been created with an institutionalization mindset. Some of the newer ones are more homey and village like. Attractive active lifestyle locations are more typical in the Carolinas and Florida. Can't we create more of these Utopias here in the Miami Valley?Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309205748663075042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-29976798906063552482008-01-12T21:42:00.000-05:002008-01-12T21:42:00.000-05:00There is some evidence of a reverse migration from...There is some evidence of a reverse migration from Florida to Ohio and other Northern states for very old senior citizens, when they need nursing home care and want to be closer to family. <BR/><BR/>Yet I think Flordia countys are a big destination for outmigrants from Montgomery County. I found a website that has information on migration, but havn't looked in depth on it for out-of-state migration.<BR/><BR/>In answer to Greg, the numbers for these graphs are only for Montgomery County. <BR/><BR/>For Warren County, the top two migrant sources are Butler and Hamilton Countys, which together have send 28,000 people to Warren between 2000-2005. Montgomery has sent 10,300 to Warren. <BR/><BR/>These numbers are gross, without out deducting migration from Warren back, but you can see that Dayton isnt as big a contributor to Warrens' growth compared to the Cincy area.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-21369978227183151952008-01-12T09:49:00.000-05:002008-01-12T09:49:00.000-05:00To echo Bruce, I think that officials with public...To echo Bruce, I think that officials with public pensions (City & State) should be taxed at a higher rate if they retire out of Ohio. This will keep some of them at home as well as encourage decisions that influence more retired persons to stay in the area.Greg Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397460620900925314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-51170289273160858642008-01-12T09:46:00.000-05:002008-01-12T09:46:00.000-05:00Jeffery, Just got back from Seattle and I am catc...Jeffery, Just got back from Seattle and I am catching up with local information. Thanks for the Production Post as well as the Warren Zevon material. (His widow just published a book I might read) Anyway, I have a question. Did I miss it or does this data include Warren County? I mean as a region did we actually lose this group or did they "sprawl out" of the data set? Anecdotally, I think it is real loss as most of the people that I graduated with (1981 Kettering Fairmont East) have left; however, some ended up in Springboro.<BR/><BR/>It is interesting to talk to some of the movers and shakers in this town and then asked them where their children ended up. For the most part, Dayton does not make the list. Unfortunately this loss of people in my age group implies that I should have less competition for any field of endeavor and therefore be successful. The bigger fish in a smaller pond, so to speak. This has not borne out as revenue from Dayton based operations as all of my income has been earned from projects outside the area. I just cannot bear to kiss any of the asses that make the decisions in this Town that have lead to the losses of this cohort. Of course that will change :)Greg Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397460620900925314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-33016220429787087162008-01-12T09:45:00.000-05:002008-01-12T09:45:00.000-05:00I have been part of many discussions exploring ide...I have been part of many discussions exploring ideas to slow the exodus especially of the twenty somethings. No single concept accounts for all the movement but the two that rise to the top are usually high paying jobs and schools for their young children.<BR/><BR/>I have also anecdotally noticed neighbors retiring to Florida and elsewhere. The private retirement housing investment in the area is minimal and should be encouraged to create more attractive options as our baby boomers are coming of age. We don't need to keep feeding them to Florida.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309205748663075042noreply@blogger.com
