Rank 51 of 51 by domestic migration per 1,000

New York

New York lost 893,537 residents to other states and gained 518,056 from other countries — enough to offset 58% of the domestic loss, but not to reverse it. Net migration is still −375,481. International arrivals are slowing the decline here, not ending it.

Measured as counts rather than rates, the channel that moved the most people in New York over 2021–2024 was domestic migration. That is a statement about volume, not direction: a channel can be the largest by losing.
