Highest income of arrivals by state

Average income of arriving households.

Average adjusted gross income of the households that moved in, from their tax returns. Read it against the income of leavers: a county can grow while the people arriving earn less than the people going, which population change alone will not tell you. Adjusted gross income is not take-home pay and excludes untaxed income.
