How this is ranked

Net domestic migration from the Census Bureau's population estimates for 2025: people who moved in from other U.S. counties minus people who moved out, per 1,000 residents. Moves from and to other countries are not included. Counties with fewer than 1,000 residents, or without a figure for the same period as the others, are not ranked.
