Can someone elaborate on what the percentages mean? I know I'm reading it wrong, and I can't figure out what the magnitudes are.

  I believe they are the percentage of moves originating in the state where the destination is in the same state or in a different state.

    Thanks. This report then is mostly meaningless. If 2000 people moved for one state compared to 50000 for another state, and the percentages are close - how would I know that? I want to see number of people moving in and out. That's good information. Percentages without magnitude are just confusing noise.

      But as somebody upthread already said, a raw number will just say California has the most people moving out and probably also the most people moving in because they're the biggest state.
