What were the ten largest state-to-state moves in 2024?

ACS 2024 1-year, previous-residence estimates with 90% MOE: California → Texas 77,161 (± 9,059); New York → New Jersey 56,799 (± 8,244); California → Nevada 53,289 (± 6,970); California → Arizona 52,383 (± 6,890); Florida → Georgia 52,371 (± 8,290); Florida → Texas 52,219 (± 8,571); New York → Florida 50,661 (± 6,714); Texas → California 45,447 (± 6,640); Texas → Florida 45,259 (± 12,219); California → Washington 43,938 (± 5,464). These count people, not household-goods shipments.

Why does this list stop at 368 corridors?

Only pairs that pass YardPermit's publication gate are listed: an ACS estimate of at least 5,000, a 90% margin of error no larger than 50% of that estimate, a reverse-direction estimate, and a computable centroid distance. The other pairs can still be compared in Route Explorer; they stay out of the ranking because a 400-person cell with a 400-person margin of error is not a ranking.

Does a larger flow mean more people are moving there for good?

No. The ACS figure is where people lived one year earlier versus now. It does not distinguish a permanent relocation from a temporary one, does not count trucks or shipments, and carries a margin of error that this page prints on every row.

Is the net direction meaningful for every corridor?

144 of 368 corridors have a net direction (flow minus reverse flow) larger than its own 90% margin of error, √(MOE₁² + MOE₂²). For the remaining 224 the table does not establish which direction is larger, and the row says so.

Latest official migration data

Largest U.S. state-to-state moves

Every one of the 368 corridors that pass the publication gate, ranked by the ACS 2024 1-year estimate of people living in the destination whose residence one year earlier was the origin. The margin of error is on every row; so is whether the net direction between the two states is statistically distinguishable from zero. This is a previous-residence count of people, not a count of household-goods shipments.

Citable statement

In ACS 2024, the largest state-to-state flow in the table was California → Texas: 77,161 people (± 9,059, 90% margin of error) living in Texas who had lived in California one year earlier.

Questions this page answers

What were the ten largest state-to-state moves in 2024?: ACS 2024 1-year, previous-residence estimates with 90% MOE: California → Texas 77,161 (± 9,059); New York → New Jersey 56,799 (± 8,244); California → Nevada 53,289 (± 6,970); California → Arizona 52,383 (± 6,890); Florida → Georgia 52,371 (± 8,290); Florida → Texas 52,219 (± 8,571); New York → Florida 50,661 (± 6,714); Texas → California 45,447 (± 6,640); Texas → Florida 45,259 (± 12,219); California → Washington 43,938 (± 5,464). These count people, not household-goods shipments.
Why does this list stop at 368 corridors?: Only pairs that pass YardPermit's publication gate are listed: an ACS estimate of at least 5,000, a 90% margin of error no larger than 50% of that estimate, a reverse-direction estimate, and a computable centroid distance. The other pairs can still be compared in Route Explorer; they stay out of the ranking because a 400-person cell with a 400-person margin of error is not a ranking.
Does a larger flow mean more people are moving there for good?: No. The ACS figure is where people lived one year earlier versus now. It does not distinguish a permanent relocation from a temporary one, does not count trucks or shipments, and carries a margin of error that this page prints on every row.
Is the net direction meaningful for every corridor?: 144 of 368 corridors have a net direction (flow minus reverse flow) larger than its own 90% margin of error, √(MOE₁² + MOE₂²). For the remaining 224 the table does not establish which direction is larger, and the row says so.
