Who moves in and out

Net migration over time, and who arrivals are — where they came from and what those places vote

−47 net domestic migration · 2025

Net −366 over 2011–2025 · gain loss

Arrivals reported $51,419 in average income, against $77,648 for residents who stayed — 34% 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.
