Effective Migration Rates of African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Europeans within the United States.

Migration rates inferred with EEMS for African Americans (A), Hispanics/Latinos (B), and Europeans (C). EEMS models the relationship between genetics and geography by assessing the decay of genetic similarity with respect to geographic distance. Colors and values correspond to inferred rates, m, relative to the overall migration rate across the country. Shades of blue indicate higher migration (i.e., log(m) = 1 represents effective migration that is 10-fold faster than the average) and higher levels of genetic similarity while shades of orange indicate migration barriers and lower levels of genetic similarity.
