Like if the difference between the top and average, and the bottom and average is low (good spread of populations), no reduced rates would apply at all.
The issue is that individuals don't want to leave. They have free companies. They have friends.

You need a means of encouraging entire chunks to leave in a group - a whole Free Company to be willing to go to greener pastures where they have a shot at buying a house, for example. There is going to be hassle involved no matter what, but making it free turns it into a reasonable option finally.

I do agree that any free transfers would need to be to only a handful of worlds where the population is not an issue. SE has the internal data for that.
