The new Pottawatomie County residents who came from the same state in 2019

3edited

In 2019, 1,376 people moved to Pottawatomie County from within the state, according to migration data from the Internal Revenue Service.

This is an increase over the year before, when 1,294 people migrated to Pottawatomie County from elsewhere in the state.

The number of people moving to Pottawatomie County is offset by the 1,804 residents who left the area during the same year.

There were 1,665 people who left the year before.

Migration data for the U.S. is based on year-to-year address changes reported on individual income tax returns filed with the IRS.

Analysis from the Tax Foundation found that U.S. residents are flocking within the country to states with lower taxes. Florida and Texas, which don't have income tax, saw the highest migration rates in 2021-2022.

The study also showed that high-tax states, such as New York and California, are suffering from diminishing populations. A separate report from the Fiscal Policy Institute reported that more than 300,000 people alone left New York state in 2021 and 2022.
