How about Westchester vs. Long Island?  That phenomenon may be going on there as well.  It seems that Manhattanites (whether or not native to NYC) tend to move to Westchester or to a lesser extent NJ - rather than LI if they move to the suburbs.  The same is true of those who relocate to the NYC area and head straight to the suburbs.  LI seems to have a more "insular" reputation, being made up people from Brooklyn and Queens and their descendants.

I've heard the Cuyahoga River is said to be the border between the Northeast and Midwest.  Demographically there's a sort of logic to that (i.e. Jewish/Italian in the eastern suburbs, more Slavic in the western suburbs).
