A weekend AP story about migration from state to state mentioned North Carolina a few times as a destination, but there’s more information in the IRS data the AP examined that is interesting.
North Carolina gained almost 41,000 households from 2007-2008 with more people moving here from Florida and New York than any other state. An AP list of each state’s status shows that six states that had a net out migration had more people head to North Carolina than any other state.
People are also moving here even during the recession. Census Bureau numbers show that North Carolina’s population increased by 133,000 from 2008-2009, the third biggest increase in the country.
