IT'S (UN)OFFICIAL!

The Triangle Business Journal's recent online poll indicates Southerners are outnumbered here in the Triangle. The survey, running from June 17 through June 23, asked "From where did you move to the Triangle?"
29 percent of the 900 respondents said they moved to the area from the Northeast. 14 percent of voters indicated they hailed from the Midwest, thus the regions containing Ohio, New York and New Jersey accounted for a total of 43 percent. (TBJ says this means folks who wore blue in the Civil War account for almost half the people here.)
Three Southern options given on the poll totalled 39 percent of the vote. So adding the 3 percent of voters who moved here from the Southwest to the Southern 39 percent, Northeners have a 1 percent edge---43 vs. 42.
Other areas of North Carolina and other Southeastern states logged in about 16 percent each.
A scant 6 percent of respondents moved from the West; 3 percent from another country.
One final category, the "not yet officially endangered" Triangle native represents a mere 7 percent.
Unofficial, but interesting.
