It is now. Back then, the north east had just been thoroughly destroyed by 50 years of austrians, and the north west had not developed the industrial base that would create its strong ecoonmy. Plus the north was more populous, so absolute numbers make it look like it had more emigration.

super high birthrates + massive shifts transitioning the country from a preindustrial economy into a more modern one (see how it happened before in northern europe, and in north Italy before the south)
small towns couldn't handle the huge pops coming from the countryside
