Which states Texas trades households with
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows ranked by total volume. The IRS publishes only each county's largest partner states, so smaller streams are left out and these totals run below the headline figures.
Households arriving in Texas from another state report
$83,932 in average annual income;
those leaving for another state report
$80,777 .
The two groups earn about the same.
Arriving from another state $83,932
Leaving for another state $80,777
City-level breakdowns
Every city page has its own migration section — who's arriving, from how far, and what kind of mover that calls for.
How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax
returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The headline figures and county lists count moves that
crossed a state line; the five-year chart counts every move, including from abroad. The data publishes annually
with about a two-year lag, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves
unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets.
245 of Texas's counties have published data.
