Net domestic migration: Which states are gaining—and losing—Americans
Today, the U.S. Census Bureau published their net domestic migration data for 2025.
Keep in mind that this metric—net domestic migration—is NOT the same as total population change. It does not include births, deaths, or international migration (we’ll cover those in separate articles). Instead, net domestic migration is calculated as the difference between the number of Americans moving into a given state (in-migration) and the number leaving that state (out-migration) over a specific period.
These 5 states saw the MOST POSITIVE net domestic migration between July 2024 and July 2025:
North Carolina —+84,064
Texas —+67,299
South Carolina —+66,622
Tennessee —+42,389
Arizona —+31,107
These 5 states saw the MOST NEGATIVE net domestic migration between July 2024 and July 2025:
