People One Year Ago or More Living in Different States


In the recently released Census Bureau American Community Survey, one of the interesting studies was for people who lived in different states one or more years ago. This study shows the states where people are more likely moving into still, and those that are not seeing new people move in. Overall, 2.3 % of the population in the US lived in another state one year or more ago.

Alaska and Wyoming take the top of the list with 5.9% and 5.8% of the population respectively having lived in a different state one year or more ago. The next states with 3.7 to 4.7% of the population having lived in a different state are all in that same part of the country as Wyoming. They were Idaho, the Dakotas, Nevada, Colorado, and Kansas.

The bottom of the list for movement in were surprisingly states like California at 1.3%, New York at 1.4%, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The lime colored states were 2.7-3.5% living in another state 1 or more years ago.

Still trying to find out what states all the people moved from! In our business that would be the key.
