Residents who arrived in the past year.
This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.
The share of current residents age one and over who lived in a different county, state, or country one year earlier. This is a snapshot of who is here now after a recent move: it includes arrivals even when just as many people left. Unlike net migration, it cannot tell whether the county gained or lost people overall. It describes turnover, not whether a place welcomes newcomers or whether they stayed.
District of Columbia has the highest published recent arrivals in this comparison, at 9.8%. The next states shown are Colorado (9.2%) and Virginia (8.5%).
The table orders 51 states by residents who arrived in the past year. It describes one published measure, not an overall judgment about where to live.
Use the result as a starting point, then compare the underlying source, dates, and local county figures before making a decision.
