I made the table after downloading and processing newly released 2023 interstate census data.

The pattern is very clear.
High tax, blue states are losing population due to interstate migration.
And as I keep saying, I do not see this reversing.
I do not see a sudden net flow into high tax states.
The political leanings of the state seem to be correlated to the tax levels.
My study was picked up twice by the Daily Mail.

The pattern is very clear.
As the country reshapes around 21st century realities and shift in economic focus continues, high tax states are clearly losing population.
