How this is ranked

Net domestic migration from the Census Bureau's population estimates for 2025: people who moved in from the rest of the U.S. minus people who moved out, per 1,000 residents. Moves between the area's own counties cancel out; moves from and to other countries are not included. Every metropolitan statistical area (OMB Bulletin 23-01) with a figure is ranked, one-county areas included: such an area's figures are its county's, so its row may link to the county page. Micro areas are left out. Areas without a figure for the same period as the others are not ranked. An area that crosses a state line is ranked in each of its states.
