Data Sources

Demographic and migration data come from the Census Bureau's Vintage estimates as of July 1, 2023. Unemployment rates are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for June 2024. Poverty rate estimates are derived from the American Community Survey’s 2022 5-year averages.

The voting information came from Ballotpedia and the National Association of Secretaries of State.

Inflows—indicating the top states and international regions people moved from—are identified using the Census Bureau's State-to-County Migration Flows ACS 2017-2021, with data aggregated by determining the top three states of previous residence for each county based on the highest number of movers. Outflows, representing the top states people moved to, are sourced from the Internal Revenue Service's County-to-County Migration Data for 2021–2022.

Precinct-level 2020 election results are provided by the Voting Election & Science Team (VEST), a consortium of academic researchers. County- and state-level returns for U.S. presidential elections from 2012 to 2020 are from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab. Election data for Connecticut counties is unavailable due to results being reported by the eight legacy counties instead of the current nine planning regions. Election data for Alaska is also unavailable.
