LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Data from the U.S. Census Bureau offers a picture of migration flows across the United States.
The latest migration statistics, shown in the Census Flows Mapper, are from the 2015-2019 American Community Survey, or ACS.
The U.S. Census Bureau said the data tables highlight the geographic mobility of people between counties, metropolitan statistical areas, minor civil divisions in some states, municipalities, and municipios in Puerto Rico.
The five-year data provide estimates of in-migration, out-migration and net migration, the bureau reported.
The Census Flows Mapper has been updated to include data from the 2015-2019 ACS county-level migration flows.
The Census Flows Mapper is a web-mapping application that allows users to view and save U.S. migration flows data. Maps can be sorted and customized by current and previous datasets, type of migration flow, colors and range of movers.
From 2015 to 2019, the Census Flows Mapper shows that most residents leaving Lake County went to other parts of the state, with Sacramento and Sonoma counties being the top migration locations.
Migrations also led to Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Hawaii.
Inbound migration for that four-year period came largely from other parts of California — led by Sonoma (1004), Mendocino (465), Inyo (461), Napa (315) and Humboldt (286) counties.
Other states that were the source of migration to Lake County included Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Florida, South Carolina, Ohio, New York and Connecticut.
