The data is per ACS Census reports on " Place of Birth by Nativity and Citizenship Status for PCSAs". However, a few cities are listed by just their MSA, and I've bolded those.

I’m not clear how Atlanta, Phoenix, or even Boston can be above Miami for this.
Census ACS Metro Area-to-Metro Area Migration Flows
Per the website:
"The American Community Survey (ACS) and the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) ask respondents age 1 year and over whether they lived in the same residence 1 year ago. For people who lived in a different residence, the location of their previous residence is collected.
Both current residence and residence 1 year ago are coded to the most current metropolitan statistical area (MSA) definitions available as of January 1 of the last year in the dataset."
If you are looking for the change in 5 years, just add the up the changes from the last 5 data sets.

Miami has had a negative net domestic migration actually, for a number of years last decade, and also has the highest foreign born percentage by metro. That may be a part of it.
The earlier point about people in the state of Florida not being counted as Miami transplants could also be an affect on the total, but I don't think that would move it ahead of at least ATL and Phoenix.

True, but this data is strictly state to state transplants born in the US. The previous thread covered foreign born in addition to the numbers posted in this thread.

Crazy to see DC and Phoenix MSA has more domestic transplants than places like the Bay Area CSA.
Would be interested to see this on a p/capita basis.
I'm also extremely interested in seeing this data as a percentage.
That is the question that was initially proposed as well. Raw numbers are kind of meaningless in this regard but seems to be the benchmark being used in discussion thus far....
