Where it comes from
IRS county migration flows · IRS SOI gross migration, AGI class 7
People in the top income group who left the state, per 100 of that group who stayed. From the IRS Gross Migration file. It splits moves by the size of adjusted gross income on the second year's tax return. It is published for states only, since the IRS does not split counties by income. This file leaves out returns with an income below zero. So its totals differ slightly from the state-to-state files the other migration measures come from.
Combining areas: an average weighted by people in households earning $200,000 or more who did not move.
Population makeup
How this measure varies with the racial and ethnic makeup of states. Every group is shown, whatever its rank. These are links across states: they describe places, not people. They say nothing about any person’s risk or behaviour based on their race. States with a larger share of one group also differ in much else, such as income, segregation, region and history. The adjusted figure only accounts for density, income and education.
