What this measures

People in households reporting $200,000 or more who filed from the same address in both years. The three high-income moving rates are measured against this group. Source: IRS county migration flows.

This is a count, so it is ranked per 1,000 residents. Ranked by the raw total, it would just list the biggest states.

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.
