― The U.S. Census Bureau today released migration statistics from the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS). These data tables highlight the geographic mobility of people between counties, metropolitan statistical areas, minor civil divisions in some states, and municipalities (municipios) in Puerto Rico.
The 5-year data provide estimates of in-migration, out-migration and net migration of movers and nonmovers between origin and destination of these geographies.
The Census Flows Mapper tool has been updated to include data from the 2016-2020 ACS 5-year county-level migration flows. The Census Flows Mapper is a web-mapping application that allows users to view and save migration flows data in the United States. Maps can be sorted and customized by current and previous datasets, type of migration flow, colors, and range of movers.
The ACS is an ongoing survey that provides vital information on a yearly basis and a 5-year basis about our nation and its people. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how billions of dollars in federal and state funds are distributed each year.
