Rank 48 of 51 by domestic migration per 1,000
Illinois
Illinois lost 395,721 residents to other states and gained 278,149 from other countries — enough to offset 70% of the domestic loss, but not to reverse it. Net migration is still −117,572. International arrivals are slowing the decline here, not ending it.
