U.S. residents aged 1+ who moved from another county; % by state, 2024.
People who moved from a different county are compared across the 50 states for 2024. The measure is people who moved from a different county in the United States as a share of the population aged 1 and over and is reported as a percentage. Colorado has the highest estimate at 7.4%, 0.1 percentage points above Virginia. South Dakota ranks ninth at 6.4%, making the leading estimate 1.15 times as high; close estimates should be read with their reported 90% margins of error.

Evidence: Provides the B07003 state estimates and 90% margins of error used to construct this percentage.
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.
For each state, numerator components B07003:[10,13] 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.
Every row uses the 2024 ACS 1-year product, the same detailed-table concept, the same state geography class and the same percentage definition.
