Over the last few weeks, we have been hearing from people who have left the region to settle in other parts of the country and the world.

Now that the project is wrapping up, we wanted to know how these stories compare to regional trends.

    I’m going to guess a lot of the Iowa influx is gay gain from surrounding states.
