Why this helps
Static market comparisons can miss population movement that may matter when choosing where to focus.
- Review migration patterns between specified geographic areas.
- Connect movement questions to a concrete market research workflow.
- Keep source areas, destination areas, and year explicit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the relevant Ahrefs market findings and query ACS Migration Flows between the areas and period you specify.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one source and destination pair, confirming the returned flow direction and period.
Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve migration flow statistics?
This workflow uses the ACS Migration Flows action to query flows between geographic areas. Specify the areas and relevant data context.
Can it show why people moved?
Do not assume it explains reasons for migration. It provides flow statistics, and interpretation should stay within the returned data.
Why is ACS five-year estimates action listed?
This package uses only allowed action IDs, but the migration flow query is a distinct available Census action. The workflow should use the action that matches the flow question.
