Rank 44 of 51 by domestic migration per 1,000

New Jersey

New Jersey lost 183,099 residents to other states over this window and gained 326,287 from other countries. Net migration is positive only because the second number is larger than the first: without international arrivals, New Jersey would be losing people to migration.
