Net interstate balance
Pennsylvania recorded 17,108 more departures to other states than arrivals from them (difference ± 18,778, 90% MOE). That balance sits inside its own margin of error, so the table does not establish a net direction.
Difference test: √(MOE_in² + MOE_out²) per Census Bureau statistical-testing guidance. Not a net count of trucks or shipments.
