What this measures

People moving in for every hundred who stayed, counting only households reporting $200,000 or more. Income is measured in the year they arrived, so someone who moved and then earned more counts as high-income. Source: IRS county migration flows.

For most measures, a national ranking mostly sorts places by income and by how urban they are. Each county’s own page compares it with the 50 counties most like it instead, which is often the fairer view.
