The color scale is fixed across all years, so a state changing shade as you move the slider is a real change in the value.

Reading it. Census Population Estimates (vintage 2024), net migration rate per 1,000 residents. Positive means more people moved in than moved out over the year; negative the reverse. Combines domestic and international migration. The PEP API was retired for 2020+ vintages, so this reads the published CSV flat file; rates run from 2021.

Comparing states is harder than it looks. A dollar buys more in some states than others, and survey estimates carry a margin of error. Read the map for the pattern, not for a precise ranking.
