The team at Visual Capitalist used Census Bureau data to visualize the top states Americans moved away from in 2023, as well as the states they relocated to. The figures only include residents aged one year and older, and are accurate as of August 2024.

The five US states that lost the most residents in 2023 were California (-690,502), Florida (-514,259), New York (-483,523), Texas (-480,822) and Illinois (-297,765).

Despite seeing high migration turnovers, Florida, Texas and California were also among the states welcoming the most new people from other parts of the country.

In the year analyzed, Texas was the most popular place for Californians to relocate to, while Texans also favored California over any other state.
