The stampede out of blue states accelerates.

For the four years from 2019 through 2022, the Red States gained 2.23 million net domestic migrants, all at the expense of blue states.

The net effect is that red state population increased by 4.5 million, compared to blue state population as a result of net domestic migration over the four years. This is the equivalent of roughly eight or nine additional red state congressional seats.

As a result, the Red States gained $191.93 billion in adjusted gross income (AGI), while the Blue States lost that much taxable income.

Seven of the ten top states in net domestic migration were red, led by Florida, which gained 793,000, and Texas, which gained 600,000. North Carolina, also a red state, ranked third, gaining 275,000 net domestic migrants.

Ten of the eleven worst-performing states/DC were blue, with California having the largest loss (1,072,000), New York having the second largest loss (887,000), and Illinois with the third largest loss (376,000).

Seven of the top ten states in net adjusted gross income (AGI) change were red. Florida also led in this category, with its four-year gain of $116 billion. Texas was second, at $31 billion. Arizona was the top-ranked blue state, placing third, at $17 billion.

The largest income losses were in California ($79 billion), New York ($67 billion), and Illinois ($35 billion). Yet Dems are floating governors Gavin Newsom of CA and JB Pritzker of Illinois as top
Veep candidates.
