Rank 37 of 51 by domestic migration per 1,000
Mississippi
Mississippi lost 20,099 residents to other states and gained 19,910 from other countries — enough to offset 99% of the domestic loss, but not to reverse it. Net migration is still −189. International arrivals are slowing the decline here, not ending it.

International migration+19,910+6.8 per 1,000 residentsNet arrivals from outside the United States.
Births minus deaths−15,029−5.1 per 1,000 residentsNatural change. Not migration at all, and frequently mistaken for it.
