      This map shows net interstate migration patterns from the 2024 American Community Survey, with states colored on a brown-to-teal diverging scale where teal indicates net importers (more arrivals than departures) and brown indicates net exporters. New York stands out as the largest net exporter at over 6 million, with California now a major net exporter as well at 3.1 million — a dramatic reversal from [2000](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1tmxe1h/net_interstate_migration_oc/) when California was the country’s largest net importer. Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Ohio round out the top exporters, while Florida remains the dominant net importer at 5.8 million, followed by Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia. Twenty-five black arrows trace the largest pairwise net flows, with opacity scaled to flow magnitude. The traditional Northeast → Florida channel remains the heaviest single corridor (New York → Florida at 1.5 million net), but the most striking pattern is California’s outflow fanning across the West to Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, marking the rise of intra-West migration as a dominant feature of the current migration landscape.

      Note that the map shows only *net* flows, hiding the much larger gross flows in both directions. In other words it highlights the biggest discrepancies, not the biggest flows.

      People move from dense, expensive places to less dense less expensive places.

      Cheers to whoever is going south but the prospect of 110 degrees summers alone is enough for me to stay out

      Housing availability and costs in California are unsupportable for many.

      Don’t know when it’ll change that everyone will be moving to the Great Lakes, but it’s coming eventually.

      I love this idea for a map. A little confused why you’ve squished the continental US, especially when normal-sized Alaska and Hawaii don’t add anything here. Also, the arrows on the east coast end up obscuring the states there. I think that would be improved with an unsquished (technical term /s) map and thinner arrows.

      This is really cool. As others have mentioned, I would love to see other variations on this map showing different factors like age, income, whatever’s clever.

      I can’t imagine ever voluntarily moving to Florida or Texas. For more than one reason. The climate alone is inhospitable except for a couple of months a year, and that will only get worse. Couple that with the winters up North getting milder and milder and I’ll just stay here.
