This annual study provides migration pattern data for the United States by State or by county and are available for inflows (the number of new residents who moved to a State or county and where they migrated from) and outflows (the number of residents who left a State or county and where they moved to). The data include the number of returns filed, number of personal exemptions claimed, total adjusted gross income, and aggregate migration flows at the State level, by the size of adjusted gross income (AGI) and by age of the primary taxpayer. Data are collected and based on year-to-year address changes reported on U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns (Form 1040) filed with the IRS. SOI collects these data as part of its Individual Income Tax Return (Form 1040) Statistics program, Data by Geographic Areas, U.S. Population Migration Data.

A map and ranking of the highest-volume interstate moves such as California to Texas and New York to Florida.

Migration flows are derived from the relationship between the location of current residence in the American Community Survey (ACS) sample and the responses given to the migration question "Where did you live 1 year ago?". There are flow statistics (moved in, moved out, and net moved) between county or minor civil division (MCD) of residence and county, MCD, or world region of residence 1 year ago. Estimates for MCDs are only available for the 12 strong-MCD states, where the MCDs have the same government functions as incorporated places. Migration flows between metropolitan statistical areas are available starting with the 2009-2013 5-year ACS dataset. Flow statistics are available by three or four variables for each dataset starting with the 2006-2010 5-year ACS datasets. The variables change for each dataset and do not repeat in overlapping datasets. In addition to the flow estimates, there are supplemental statistics files that contain migration/geographical mobility estimates (e.g., nonmovers, moved to a different state, moved from abroad) for each county, MCD, or metro area.

This app shows the inbound and outbound flow of population to and from every state in the U.S., between 2015 and 2016. This is based on tax returns filed through the IRS. Click on any state to see information about population flows. The brightest, thickest lines have the most population moving along that flow line. The circles indicate the total population inbound or outbound. The chart is sorted by distance to the state, and lets you instantly compare the inflow and outflow of population between 2015 and 2016. The visualization was created from the Distributive Flow Lines tool to depict the flow of population in different directions throughout the country. To see your state or other states, click here. The data comes from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) migration data based on tax stats. According to the U.S. Population Migration Data: Strengths and Limitations, if a state had less than 3 tax returns from another state, the value is suppressed. This is stated within the pop-up for these cases.

Abstract (en): These migration data come from the Census 2000 long-form questions about residence in 1995 and provide the number of people who moved between counties. There are two files, one for inflows from every county in the United States and another re-sorted by outflows to every county. Each file contains data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, sorted by FIPS state and county codes. All persons living in housing units in the United States in 2000. self-enumerated questionnaireFor each county in the state, the number of migrants who moved to that county from another county is listed. These files contain records for FIPS state code in 2000, FIPS county code in 2000, county and state name in 2000 (current residence), FIPS state code in 1995, FIPS county code in 1995, county and state name in 1995 (previous residence), and the number of migrants who moved between those two counties (inflow).For each county in the state, the number of migrants who moved away from that county to another county is listed. These files contain records for FIPS state code in 1995, FIPS county code in 1995, county and state name in 1995 (previous residence), FIPS state code in 2000, FIPS county code in 2000, county and state name in 2000 (current residence), and the number of migrants who moved between those two counties (outflow).The data for Puerto Rico are not included in this version of the collection.

Abstract (en): This dataset provides annual population projections for the 50 states and the District of Columbia by age, sex, and race for the years 1986 through 2010. The projections were made using a mathematical projection model called the cohort-component method. This method allows separate assumptions to be made for each of the components of population change: births, deaths, internal migration, and international migration. The projections are consistent with the July 1, 1986 population estimates for states. In general, the projections assume a slight increase in the national levels of fertility, an increasing level of life expectancy, and a decreasing level of net international migration. Internal migration assumptions are based on the annual state-to-state migration data for the years 1975-1986. The resident population of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data are included for the years 1986 and 1987 as well as 1988-2010. Figures for 1986 are estimates, while those for 1987 and succeeding years are projections.

The IRS Statistics of Income Division (SOI), in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau, has released migration data for the United States for several decades. These data are an important source of information detailing the movement of individuals from one location to another. SOI bases these data on year-to-year address changes reported on individual income tax returns filed with the IRS. They present migration patterns by State or by county for the entire United States and are available for inflows—the number of new residents who moved to a State or county and where they migrated from, and outflows—the number of residents leaving a State or county and where they went. The data are available for Filing Years 1991 through 2016 and include:

• Number of returns filed, which approximates the number of households that migrated
• Number of personal exemptions claimed, which approximates the number of individuals
• Total adjusted gross income, starting with Filing Year 1995
• Aggregate migration flows at the State level, by the size of adjusted gross income (AGI) and age of the primary taxpayer, starting with Filing Year 2011.

This residual represents the change in population that cannot be attributed to any specific demographic component. See Population Estimates Terms and Definitions at http://www.census.gov/popest/about/terms.html. // Net international migration (except for Puerto Rico) includes the international migration of both native and foreign-born populations. Specifically, it includes: (a) the net international migration of the foreign born, (b) the net migration between the United States and Puerto Rico, (c) the net migration of natives to and from the United States, and (d) the net movement of the Armed Forces population between the United States and overseas. Net international migration for Puerto Rico includes the migration of native and foreign-born populations between the United States and Puerto Rico. // The estimates are based on the 2010 Census and reflect changes to the April 1, 2010 population due to the Count Question Resolution program and geographic program revisions.

The annual time series of estimates begins with the most recent decennial census data and extends to the vintage year. The vintage year (e.g., V2014) refers to the final year of the time series. The reference date for all estimates is July 1, unless otherwise specified. With each new issue of estimates, the Census Bureau revises estimates for years back to the last census. As each vintage of estimates includes all years since the most recent decennial census, the latest vintage of data available supersedes all previously produced estimates for those dates.
