Area Migration with Demographics

Area Migration captures the net migration, inflow, and outflow by State, CBSA, County, Tract and ZIP geographies. Median income and age inflows (average) in the area are also included. Demographic data is based on the latest available Census Amercian Community Survey dataset (5-year).

observation_start_date	DATE	The start date for the period this observation took place.	2022-12-01	This date marks the period when we start aggregating moves for a given observation window.
observation_end_date	DATE	The end date for the period this observation took place.	2022-12-31	This date marks the period when we stop aggregating moves for a given observation window.
median_income	FLOAT	Median income of the location’s inhabitants.	69,830	Based on Census 5-year ACS 2021 data.
median_income_difference	FLOAT	Difference between median income of incoming compared to people living in the location.	-21,900
median_income_inflow	FLOAT	Median income of people from origin locations weighted by strength of inflow.	47,940	Income statistics based on Census 5-year ACS 2021.
median_age	FLOAT	Median age of the location’s inhabitants.		Based on Census 5-year ACS 2021 data.
median_age_difference	FLOAT	Difference between median age of incoming compared to people living in the location.
median_age_inflow	FLOAT	Median age of people from origin locations weighted by strength of inflow.		Age statistics based on Census 5-year ACS 2021.
