Net interstate balance

Minnesota recorded 6,746 more departures to other states than arrivals from them (difference ± 10,721, 90% MOE). That balance sits inside its own margin of error, so the table does not establish a net direction.

Minnesota's population in the year to July 2025

On July 1, 2025, Minnesota had an estimated 5,830,405 residents, 33,000 more than a year earlier (+0.57%). Ranked by that rate of change, it is 21st of the 50 states and DC.

Components of change in the year to July 2025
  • Natural change (births minus deaths)+12,071
  • Net international migration+12,486
  • Net domestic migration (other states)+8,300

All three parts of the change added people: net international migration (12,486), natural change (12,071) and net domestic migration (8,300), largest first. Births outnumbered deaths, 62,576 to 50,505. The remaining 143 is the Census Bureau's residual, change the three parts do not explain.

Net domestic migration came to 1.4 per 1,000 residents, 22nd among the 50 states and DC. Counting international arrivals too, net migration was 3.6 per 1,000.

Against the April 2020 estimates base of 5,706,733, the 2025 estimate is up 2.2%.

The state-to-state survey could not establish which way Minnesota's balance with other states ran; the 2025 estimate puts net domestic migration at +8,300.
