This is an increase over the year before, when 20,206 people migrated to Oakland County from elsewhere in the state.

The number of people moving to Oakland County is offset by the 32,206 residents who left the area during the same year.

The Northeast region of the U.S. suffered the greatest losses, while the Midwest saw population growth.

The U.S. Census Bureau found migration within the country mainly flows to the South, with many people moving to areas of Florida and Texas.
