I do think that you need to edit your premise and clarify just what your topic encompasses. It's pretty broad, I thought originally you were only talking about the US, but globally is slightly different.

I see that you are well traveled. Looking at this from a larger global perspective, it's not just about people staying to one place or area, but it's about land habitablility and the ability for people to survive on those lands. If you were to talk about Iceland, well there is not that much habitable land, but what is habitable tends to attract more people. Taken to a global perspective, it seems to be along those same lines.
