What the figure measures
Tabulation of current state of residence crossed by state of residence 1 year ago. This is a 1-year mobility / previous-residence statistic, not a count of household-goods shipments.
Universe: population 1 year and over. Dataset: State-to-State Migration Flows: 2024 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates (Table T13). Official release: Jan 21, 2026. Last checked: Sep 7, 2026. Status: LATEST AVAILABLE. Margins of error in these tables are Census Bureau 90% margins of error.

Long-haul (750–1,500 centroid miles)
Texas is the 4th largest of 46 outbound destinations recorded for Maryland — 5.9% of the 159,125 people who left Maryland for another state.
Maryland is the 21st largest of 50 inbound origins recorded for Texas — 1.7% of the 556,156 people who arrived in Texas from another state.
Nationally, this is the 186th largest of 2,096 state-to-state flows that carry an estimate, a margin of error, and a reverse estimate in the 2024 table.
The 90% margin of error is 29.4% of the estimate: the Census interval runs from 6,640 to 12,174. Treat any single-year comparison inside that band as noise.
Texas → Maryland exceeds Maryland → Texas by 1,060 (1.11× the other direction), but that difference sits inside its own 90% margin of error (± 4,439). At 90% confidence the table does not establish a net direction for this pair. Open the reverse corridor.
Maryland and Texas do not share a land border. 1,372 state-centroid straight-line miles; IMMERVEIL planning band: Long-haul (750–1,500 centroid miles). Not driving miles.
Derivations: ranks are competition ranks among cells that carry an estimate (ties share a rank); shares divide the pair estimate by the state’s ACS total; the difference test uses √(MOE₁² + MOE₂²) per Census Bureau statistical-testing guidance; the distance band is an IMMERVEIL planning label on centroid miles, not a tariff zone. Corridor context module v1.0.
Distance note
1,372 miles is the state-centroid straight-line distance between TIGER-derived geographic centroids of Maryland and Texas. It is not driving mileage, not a highway recommendation, and not a shipping zone. Driving or route miles require a city-to-city pair and a licensed routing provider — this page does not invent that figure. State centroids are computed with d3.geoCentroid on TIGER-derived polygons. Distances shown on state-to-state pages are state-centroid straight-line distances. They are not driving miles, not a highway recommendation, and not a shipping zone. Driving distance requires a city pair and a routing provider.
Planning checklist
- Confirm whether the shipment is interstate (subject to federal household-goods rules) or intrastate.
- Look up the mover’s USDOT before paying a deposit. Open Mover Check.
- Read the estimate type. Open Quote Check.
- Storage between pickup and delivery is common on long corridors — treat unit size as a range. Storage calculator.

Questions this page answers
- How many people moved from Maryland to Texas according to the Census?
- The latest official figure is the ACS 2024 1-year estimate of people living in Texas whose residence one year earlier was Maryland: 9,407 ± 2,767 (90% margin of error). It is a previous-residence statistic, not a count of household-goods shipments, trucks, or permanent relocations.
- Do more people move from Maryland to Texas, or the other way?
- Texas to Maryland is nominally larger (9,407 versus 10,467), but the difference of 1,060 is inside its own 90% margin of error (± 4,439). The table does not establish a net direction for this pair.
- How important is Texas as a destination for people leaving Maryland?
- In ACS 2024, Texas ranks 4th of 46 recorded destinations for people whose residence one year earlier was Maryland, taking 5.9% of that state's out-of-state movers. Ranks are competition ranks among cells with an estimate; ties share a rank.
- Is the Maryland–Texas mileage on this page a driving distance?
- No. 1,372 miles is the state-centroid straight-line (great-circle) distance between TIGER-derived geographic centroids. It is not driving miles, not a highway recommendation, and not a shipping zone.
- Is 2024 still the latest official state-to-state migration table?
- Yes. The Census Bureau released 2024 State-to-State Migration Flows on 2026-01-21. No 2025 ACS state-to-state table is published. Calendar year is not the dataset year.
- How should I check a mover for a Maryland to Texas shipment?
- Use the USDOT printed on the written estimate. Look the number up in Mover Check (live FMCSA MCMIS census) and confirm the record on FMCSA SAFER before paying a deposit. IMMERVEIL does not rank, score, or endorse carriers.
- How much does it cost to move from Maryland to Texas?
- IMMERVEIL does not invent a mover price, fuel, or toll bracket. ACS Table T13 and the FMCSA census do not contain those figures. Quote Check performs arithmetic on the amount printed on your estimate — including the 110% collect-on-delivery figure for a qualifying interstate non-binding estimate.
