Key Takeaways
North Carolina attracted more domestic movers than any other state in 2025, gaining 84,100 residents from elsewhere in the U.S.
California (-229,100) and New York (-137,600) remained the nation’s largest sources of domestic outmigration.
While Sun Belt states still dominated migration gains, several Midwestern states posted positive inflows as affordability pressures spread across previously hot markets.

All these folks moving had better buy gawd. know that their liberalism will not be accepted
Interesting Oregon is up- must be Kalifornians moving north....meanwhile the eastern part of Oregon has desperately be trying to merge with Idaho for years...
North Carolina is becoming New York South?
THAT is peculiar..The only state where old friends of mine have moved TO are FROM CA and NY...Never learned why...
Yeah. Everyone here discovered the Outer Banks and are in the process of ruining it.
Welfare is moving in to Minnesota
Money is moving out. The IRS data proves this.
I guilty of adding to this. I am now a property owner in Missouri
So the cancer is spreading...
Don’t get excited. The folks fleeing will liberalism with them. They flee their communist state but vote for more socialism in the new state they invade. I have seen it every where I lived. Texas, turning blue, Montana turning blue, Kansas, turning blue. They invade the cities and the rest of the state crumbles Heck if it weren’t for huge commie s hole blue cities nearly every state in this union would vote republicans.
Ask Atlanta how that worked out
Democrat states want to charge an exit tax; Republican states should assess a ‘negative impact tax’ on immigrants from California, Oregon, Washington State, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, and New England states.
$100,000 a person sounds fair to me.
None of the influx into Oregon is any good.
Illegals. Anarchists.
Texas needs a new state law.
You can only become a “citizen” of the a great state of a Texas, if you:
—Show you have at least 3 fire arms in your possession.
—Recently bought a 10 meal coupon book at a BBQ restaurant.
—Own a cowboy hat and a pick-up truck.
—At the end of the interview comes the secret question, “what’s the name of the Dallas Cowboys Anthem?”
If you can’t answer that,
Next try, “what was written on the Gonzalez flag?”
Still no luck,
Third attempt, “what’s your take on shooting someone breaking into your home?”
If that they are overpowered by the urge to Libsplane why the death penalty is wrong, they fail.
If they fail, send them back home.
Except in MN, and it ain’t the weather. Let us guess who were the invaders and where they came from...many illegally. Those suitcases full of cash at airports must need more people...
Has been for a while. Mass migration always destroys.
Well, for sure don’t come to Tennessee. It stinks here.
Excellent points..
In addition,
one cannot vote in two Presidential cycles
One can not stand for any political office for 5 years, including local HOA and School Boards and Municipal Elections
one MUST learn the Texas Pledge of Allegiance
Had it with liberals!
Well, since Florida is overrun with New Yorkers, maybe NC is the new Florida.
They need to skip Nevada. No, really.
Tell them to move to Memphis. They’ll move back to where they came from in short order.
