Households arriving in the Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point market earn less than the ones leaving

the Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point market · Data as of 2026-09-20 · ALEX Intelligence

Read this carefully: 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

Average income of arriving households, ranked highest first across every U.S. county the IRS recorded sending households to the Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point market (Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Yadkin, NC) (76 ranked in total).

How the headline figure is computed

Mean adjusted gross income per arriving household ($59,277) against mean adjusted gross income per departing household ($61,328), both from the 2022-23 vintage. IRS reports income in thousands of dollars; these are dollars.

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.
