Since 1993 Atlas Van Lines has been mapping migration patterns in the United States and Canada based on interstate moves. Here is a map of their results for 2012. Blue states and provinces have a 55% or higher net gain (of household goods) while the orange-ish color represents states that are losing goods. The assumption is that people are following their stuff. The reddish brown places are "balanced."
You can click on any state or province to see its ten year history. I like that Yukon Territory has a special inset map even though nobody moved in or out of there (though if you click it there has been some activity there in the past.)
If you scroll down the page you will see some summary text and you can also open up this infographic for more details.

Also, I have a new respect for the Atlas vans since looking at those Hawaii numbers. I had no idea they were amphibious.
