Who is moving in

Household moves between the 2022 and 2023 tax years. Migration is measured by county, so the figures cover each county in the metro rather than single ZIP codes. 10 of the metro's 11 counties gained households. The last column is how much more, or less, the average arriving household earned than the average household that left.
