Moving within vs moving out of Virginia

Let's see how many people move within Virginia versus those who moved from The Old Dominion to another state.

Moved Within VA

Moved out of VA

Statistical facts show that 34% of the people in Virginia have moved locally (without crossing any state lines), while 66% of them have opted to move out of state to another town or city in the country.
