Rental vacancy.: Rentals that are empty and for rent, as a share of all rentals, from the Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey. A survey estimate, shown with its 90% margin of error; a change smaller than the combined margins is marked not significant.
Movers.: People on tax returns (filers and dependents) who moved in minus those who moved out between the 2022 and 2023 filing seasons, moves within the U.S. only. Income is the movers' adjusted gross income for 2022, from returns filed in 2023. The Census estimate of net domestic migration above covers a different, more recent year.
