Here are the top states where Coloradans are moving

Many Coloradans who move out of state don't stray far, according to newly released Census Bureau data .

Why it matters: While moving overall is at an all-time low, there's been an uptick in state-to-state migration in recent years, Axios' Erica Pandey reports .

State of play: The top destinations for residents leaving Colorado were Texas, followed by California, Florida, Arizona and Washington.

Zoom in: The top five counties former Coloradans relocated to were:

• Maricopa County, Arizona
• Los Angeles County, California
• San Diego County, California
• Clark County, Nevada
• King County, Washington

The intrigue: Zillow data shows only two of those — Maricopa and Clark counties — have lower average home values than Denver, raising questions about how much affordability is driving migration.

How it works: The data is drawn from new 2018-2022 five-year state-to-county migration estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
