Which states gained the most people from other states in 2024?

By net balance (in-from-other-state minus out-to-other-state), ACS 2024 1-year: Texas +72,680 (± 32,775), Florida +67,630 (± 34,929), North Carolina +58,587 (± 21,252), Arizona +55,160 (± 18,236), South Carolina +54,676 (± 14,937). Each figure carries a 90% margin of error of the difference; ranks are competition ranks.

Which states lost the most people to other states in 2024?

By net balance, ACS 2024 1-year: California −254,332 (± 27,136), New York −130,145 (± 23,327), Illinois −82,470 (± 17,588), New Jersey −63,913 (± 15,920), Massachusetts −30,032 (± 14,792). Previous-residence counts of people, not household-goods shipments.

Is every net balance on this page statistically meaningful?

No. 29 of 51 balances are larger than their own 90% margin of error (√(MOE_in² + MOE_out²)); for the other 22 the table does not establish a direction. Those rows are marked accordingly.

Latest official migration data

States ranked by net interstate migration

Every state hub carries the ACS 2024 1-year in-from-other-state and out-to-other-state totals for that geography. Below, the 50 states and DC are ordered by the difference between the two, with the margin of error of that difference and whether it is distinguishable from zero. These are previous-residence counts of people, not household-goods shipments.

Citable statement

In ACS 2024, Texas recorded the largest net interstate gain (+72,680 ± 32,775) and California the largest net loss (−254,332 ± 27,136), both at 90% margin of error.

Derivations: net = in − out; MOE of the difference = √(MOE_in² + MOE_out²) per Census Bureau statistical-testing guidance; “Established” means |net| exceeds that MOE. Ranks are competition ranks by net (ties share a rank). Source: State-to-State Migration Flows: 2024 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates (Table T13).
