Historical data

Movers into Idaho by state of origin

This breakdown is from U.S. Census Bureau, on a different basis than the headline figure above. People who moved to Idaho in the year before the survey, by the state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. island area or foreign country they lived in the year before.

• There is no standard 2020 American Community Survey 1-year release: the Census Bureau replaced it with experimental COVID-19 estimates, so 2020 is omitted here.
• Each figure is a 1-year survey estimate and carries a published margin of error, sometimes larger than the estimate itself for a small flow; margins of error are in the source workbook but not shown here.
• A flow the source workbook could not estimate from too few sample cases is left out entirely for that year rather than shown as zero.
• Moves from Idaho are counted only to another state, the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico: this is a survey of the U.S. population, so a person who moved from Idaho to a foreign country in the past year is not in the next year's sample to be counted moving out.
• The 2005-2009 tables do not break out moves from a U.S. island area or a foreign country as their own categories at all; those two categories begin with the 2010 table.
• Editions before 2022 print the two abroad categories as U.S. Island Area and Foreign Country; they are stored under the current edition's wording, U.S. Island Areas and Foreign country, so each is one series.

Net migration by state

This breakdown is from U.S. Census Bureau, on a different basis than the headline figure above. Movers into Idaho from a state minus movers out of Idaho to that same state in the year before the survey, from the Census Bureau's state-to-state migration flows. A state Idaho gained population from is positive; a state Idaho lost population to is negative.
