The Upstate gained households on migration in 2022-23

the Upstate · Data as of 2026-09-13 · ALEX Intelligence

Read this carefully: A county appears in the table only where the IRS disclosed the flow in BOTH directions. The IRS withholds county-to-county flows below its disclosure threshold, so a county missing from this table is one whose flow was too small to publish, not one nobody moved from. Every total here is a total of disclosed flows and is therefore a floor.

Methodology

Source:

U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Statistics of Income Migration Data, county-to-county inflows, 2022-23

Measure

Net households, ranked highest first across every U.S. county the IRS disclosed a flow with in BOTH directions against the Upstate (Anderson, Greenville, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg, SC) (91 ranked in total).

How the headline figure is computed

Disclosed inbound households (14,036) minus disclosed outbound households (8,087), summed across every county the IRS disclosed a flow with in the 2022-23 vintage.

Universe

Every U.S. county the IRS disclosed a flow with. Counties whose flow fell below the IRS disclosure threshold are absent from the source file altogether, so this ranking is of disclosed flows and its totals are a floor rather than a complete count of movers.
