Forbes put up a map showing the county to county migration patterns of Americans in 2008:

Oakland County, along with all other Detroit area counties have a net out of region migration. How does Oakland County sustain itself after Detroit hollows out? Since it apparently isn't a draw for out of region residents.
Oakland and Macomb Counties have still managed to post some population gains due to people migrating from Oakland County [[in all likelihood, predominantly from Detroit). But SEMCOG for some reason thinks that Oakland County can continue to grow while Detroit, Oakland County's source for population growth, continues to shrink.
