Arrivals reported $96,591 in average income, against $99,789 for residents who stayed — 3% lower. (IRS SOI, 2022–23)

Migration is one input to a place’s political change, not its cause — a shift can also come from residents changing their minds, generational turnover, or turnout. These figures describe the places people moved between; they do not measure how any mover voted.
