Found this - a wonderful interactive visual display of New York migration patterns by zip code. Really at its base, there are two key bits of information driving this map - where to & from by zip.
Taking a "dot cartogram" approach, I like to the "in-out" color thematics and inter route line connections to origin and destination zip codes.
This was part of 15 data "interpretations" featured on FlowingData and WNYC. Read/view more on the other submission below.

Full credits to Moritz Stefaner (moritz.stefaner.eu) - great work! Also thanks to FlowingData Mapping the moves of New York residents for bringing this to my attention.
This is the blog of a modern day Cartographer thrown into the business world. Over the course of my journeyman's career I have wandered through positions in government, news agencies, consulting corporations and rogue start ups. The hard-earned working theory I have developed is simple. In life, communication is hard work. In business, effective communication is critical. Hence, this blog parallels the location Intelligence practices on www.GeoSteppes.com.
