What this measures

How much faster high earners arrive than everyone else. It is the net moving rate for households with $200,000 or more, minus the net rate for all households. Positive means a state gains high earners faster than it gains people in general, which is different from gaining people at all. Florida does both. Vermont only does the first.

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.
