Summary

Darker amber is a higher share of occupied housing units where the householder moved in during 2021 or later. Puerto Rico is listed in the ranking and table but is not on this map.

A typical published area has 9.9% of occupied housing units where the householder moved in during 2021 or later, the midpoint of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico on the 2023 ACS five-year estimates. The District of Columbia leads at 16.1%, and Colorado is the highest of the 50 states at 12.7%. West Virginia is the lowest of the 50 states at 7.6%. Puerto Rico, which this table also returns, sits lower at 5.4%. In most areas renters account for more of that recent-mover share than owners. These are shares of occupied units in each area, not a national mobility rate.

Summary

Every area the Census published in this table: 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, 52 in all. The District of Columbia leads at 16.1%, then Colorado at 12.7% and Texas at 12.6%. West Virginia is the lowest of the 50 states at 7.6%. Puerto Rico is 5.4%. The middle published area sits at 9.9%. The ranking is each area's own share of occupied units, not a national mobility rate.

Summary

Owner-occupied units where the householder moved in during 2021 or later, as a share of all occupied units in that area. Florida leads among published areas at 5.0%. These owner shares sit below the renter shares in nearly every area because fewer owners turn over in a short window.

Summary

Renter-occupied units where the householder moved in during 2021 or later, as a share of all occupied units. The District of Columbia leads at 12.8%. Renters drive most of the overall recent-mover share in this table.

Summary

Each point is one published area. The horizontal axis is the owner recent-mover share of occupied units; the vertical axis is the renter recent-mover share. The correlation coefficient is 0.23, so the two tenure lines move together only modestly (about 5 per cent of the variation). The District of Columbia pairs a modest owner share with the highest renter share.

About this data

The newest year bracket in ACS table B25038 for the 2023 five-year estimates is "Moved in 2021 or later." Shares are recomputed from the owner and renter component counts for that bracket divided by total occupied housing units.
A midpoint of state shares is not a United States mobility rate. Large states weigh more if every occupied unit is pooled, and these figures describe householders' year of move into the current unit, not the geographic mobility of people.
Owner and renter recent-mover lines use the same occupied-unit universe, so the two shares add to the overall recent-mover share.
The Census published 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Alaska and Hawaii appear in the ranking and table; on the map they are inset. Puerto Rico is in the ranking and table but is not drawn on the state map.
