What the Data Shows
People who lived in a different house one year earlier are compared across the 50 states for 2024. The measure is people who lived in a different house in the United States or abroad one year earlier as a share of the population aged 1 and over and is reported as a percentage. Alaska has the highest estimate at 14.8%, 0.6 percentage points above Colorado. Idaho ranks ninth at 13.6%, making the leading estimate 1.08 times as high; close estimates should be read with their reported 90% margins of error.

Data notes & caveats
ACS values are survey estimates with 90% margins of error. The ranking contains the 50 states only; District of Columbia is a federal district and Puerto Rico is a territory. The percentage denominator is population aged 1 and over, not a total formed by adding the ranked percentages.
Methodology
For each state, numerator components B07003:[7,10,13,16] were divided by the population aged 1 and over denominator B07003:[1] and multiplied by 100. Component margins of error were combined by root-sum-square; percentage margins follow the Census published proportion procedure with the plus-term fallback when required.
Source consistency notes
Every row uses the 2024 ACS 1-year product, the same detailed-table concept, the same state geography class and the same percentage definition.
