Select a Direction to display the numbers of people moving in to (in-movers) or out of (out-movers)
each state in the union. Or, examine the difference between the two (net-movers). You can also switch between the directions
by pressed keys:
I (in), O (out), or N (net).

which states have the largest number of movers in the chosen direction.

The buttons below will load several pre-made settings, give it a try!
~ Red Out West ~
This data shows that California is losing net movers to basically all states on the west coast (except for Alaska and Hawaii). By comparison, for most of the states in New England, more people are moving to California than vice versa.
~ Dela-why ~
This data shows that most states have a neutral relationship with Delware, with net movers being close to zero. For the most part, the only states with significant net-movers to Delaware are the states close by. This is especially suprising since the people from these states should know best how awful Delaware is...
~ Not Just COVID ~
Even before COVID-19 (the data is from 2019), New York had negative net movers with almost every single other state. Unsurprsingly, the states with the most negative relationship of net movers are Florida and New Jersey. The only state with more people moving to New York than vice versa was Puerto Rico, which is not unexpected given the large Puerto Rican population in NYC.
~ Shrinking Puerto Rico ~
Between 2010 and 2020, Puerto Rico's total population shrank by nearly 12%, compared to the highest state, West Virginia, which shrank by just 3% during this period. This data demonstrates this phenomenon distinctly, with every state getting more people from Puerto Rico than vice versa.
~ North vs. South ~
Some states have a strong migration partnership with just one other. For North Dakota, it would be reasonable to expect this state to be South Dakota but that is not the case. The state that provides the most in-movers to North Dakota is Minnesota, and it is not even close.
~ North vs. South ~
Similarly, the state that receives the most number of migrants from North Dakota is also Minnesota, and again, it is not even close. This visualization excels at teasing out these complex and often unexpected relationships between states.
