? Mapped: America's migration magnets

Data: Atlas Van Lines. Map: Axios Visuals Arkansas, Idaho and North Carolina drew the most new arrivals this year, Axios' Sami Sparber writes from an analysis of interstate moves by Atlas Van Lines. Why it matters: High housing costs are keeping many people in place. But some are still moving, often for lower prices, jobs, climate resilience, or to be closer to family. Roughly 2 in 5 people moving into Arkansas landed in Bentonville, home to Walmart's corporate headquarters (Home Office). Other popular destinations include Hawaii, D.C., Tennessee, Washington state and Alabama. The other side: Louisiana recorded the highest share of outbound moves for the second year in a row, followed by West Virginia and Wyoming. Departures eased in high-cost California, Illinois and New York, even as they continued to outnumber arrivals.
