Rank 47 of 51 by domestic migration per 1,000
Louisiana
Louisiana lost 124,444 residents to other states and gained 58,919 from other countries — enough to offset 47% of the domestic loss, but not to reverse it. Net migration is still −65,525. International arrivals are slowing the decline here, not ending it.
