About net migration
What this measures: Net inflow of US residents moving in from other states, per 10,000 residents. Positive means more arrivals than departures.
Why it matters: Net migration is the long-run revealed preference of where people choose to live, summing up cost, jobs, climate, and culture.
Watch out: Excludes international migration and births minus deaths. Total population change can move differently than this net domestic number.
