The Brian Lehrer Show asked you to participate in the Map Your Moves project by telling us where you moved from and to and why in the past 10 years. Over 1600 listeners participated. Then, we asked you designer-types to try to make that information beautiful in whatever visual way you wanted. We got really impressive submissions, so we have invited each of the designers on the show to talk about their work. The first two to join us are Andrea Stranger and Michael Porter. They'll discuss how they made the Map Your Moves information beautiful and what they learned in the process.

So where do people go when they move out of Park Slope?
it took half the length of this segment to load your page, brian (on broadband, no less). seems the "beta" is "no betta" than the old site, vis a vis navigability!
Yeah, Brian's right about Staten Island: you're probably not hearing from a lot of recent immigrants. Staten Island has a serious emerging Hispanic population (which is awesome). S.I. is changing in ways that will become apparent after a decade or so.
Interestingly the New York Times printed a map of a similar study almost exactly 100 years ago. They found Manhattanites moving north, with the most congested blocks in upper Harlem and Washington Heights, and not in the Lower East Side as was previously assumed.
When I saw it, I immediately thought of WNYC's project. It's an interesting comparison.
You can see the 100-year-old map at http://sundaymagazine.org/2010/09/where-new-yorks-population-is-growing-most-rapidly/
