Moving within vs moving out of West Virginia

Let's see how many people move within West Virginia versus those who moved from Mountain State to another state.

Moved out of WV

Statistics show that much more West Virginians have opted to move out of their state (interstate moving: 82%) than to move within the state of West Virginia (local moving: 18%).
