Common questions

How many people moved to New York in 2022–23?

268,427 people moved to New York from other states, and 426,397 left for other states.

Where do most people moving to New York come from?

In 2022–23, the most came from New Jersey (38,722 people), Florida (32,133 people), California (25,783 people).

Where does this data come from?

From the IRS Statistics of Income, U.S. Population Migration Data. State migration is counted when matched tax returns filed in 2022 and 2023 show addresses in different states. A household is one tax return; people counts everyone on it. Non-filers and unmatched returns are excluded. Domestic net migration is not total population change.

Why are there no “vs last year” changes?

The IRS changed how it processed this data in 2014–15, 2016–17 and 2022–23, so a change from one year to the next can reflect the method rather than real moves. We show levels, rankings and 10-year trends instead.
