The grass really IS greener: Cincinnatians moving across river
Boone County gained more people than anyplace else in Kentucky between 1995 and 2000, according to new census figures.
In all, Boone County had a net gain of 8,300 people.
While 16,896 moved out of the county during the five-year period, 25,196 moved in.
And many of those newcomers are some of the 15,000 people who left Ohio for Kentucky over the five-year period.
Much of the Boone Couty boom came from "outmigrants" from Hamilton County.
The South was the nation's largest regional gainer in net migration with nearly 2 million more people moving in than out. "The southeastern part of the country is going to be the new economic engine of the country," he said.
