Goodbye Michiganders, enjoy your new life elsewhere
For work I made a chart that (by extracting data from google trends), compares when people are looking for apartments as compared to the national average from 2004 to the present. National average is red, Michigan is blue. You'll notice how Michigan was going a great job keeping up with the national average until 2007 when people started moving out. Check out where we are now and how far different it is from nationally.
