ACS FLOWSMigration flows are derived from the relationship between the location of current residence in the American Community Survey (ACS) sample and the responses given to the migration question "Where did you live 1 year ago?". The Census Bureau provides flow statistics (moved in, moved out, and net moved) between county or minor civil division (MCD) of residence and county, MCD, or world region of residence 1 year ago. Migration flows between metropolitan statistical areas are available starting with the 2009-2013 5-year ACS dataset. In addition to the flow estimates, there are supplemental statistics files that contain migration/geographical mobility estimates (e.g., nonmovers, moved to a different state, moved from abroad) for each county, MCD, or metro area.2017acsflowsAggregategeographiesvariablesgroupssortsexamplesdocumentationhttp://api.census.gov/data/2017/acs/flows
