You are confusing a few thing wrt residential status vs immigration status.
Historically Gauteng was the golden city people making their way from up north to south africa. That has been tarnished for a long time now
Also Gauteng is multiple times in size compared to WC , so to do an apples to apples comparison you need to convert the figures to show x per 100000 people.
Then looking at the stats

WC/KZN/Mpumalanga/Limpopo are all growing in distribution %
EC/Free State/NW/Gauteng to a lesser degree are all decreasing in distribution %
This lends challenges your narrative that there is more migration to Gauteng. in fact Gauteng got slightly smaller since 2011
Secondly looking at your other statement , I disagree completely you have a better chance of making money in Gauteng
Average sallary is higher in WC

and unemployement % is far lower in WC

Nice analysis, thanks. You've shown why people who have no clue about statistics should never use them.
