According to William Frey, a professor at the University of Michigan and a demographer with the Washington-based Brookings Institution, the recent national housing bust and subprime mortgage crisis have stemmed the tide of population migration to the South and West.

“In this last year, the census estimates have shown a little bit of a retrenchment from the Midwest,” Mr. Frey said. “A lot of the people going to these fast-growing places have pulled back. Florida has had a huge decline in its growth and its migration because of the housing crunch.”
