We present a number of variously rearranged matrix plots of the 3, 107×3, 107 1995-2000 (asymmetric) intercounty migration table for the United States, principally in its bistochasticized form (all 3,107 row and column sums iteratively proportionally fitted to equal 1). In one set of plots, the counties are seriated on the bases of the subdominant (left and right) eigenvectors of the bistochast...
