Louisiana: where Gen Z adults are moving
Adults born 1997 to 2006 who lived in a different state one year earlier, from the Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey. These are survey estimates of people, shown with their margins of error.
The Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey estimates that about 19,400 adults born 1997 to 2006 moved to Louisiana from another state in the prior year, while about 24,700 moved away. That is a net loss of about 5,300 Gen Z adults (margin of error plus or minus 4,800), the 9th largest net loss among the 50 states and D.C..
The largest single source of Gen Z adults arriving in Louisiana was Texas, at about 5,700 people (plus or minus 1,700), followed by Mississippi.

Why this does not match the IRS view
The All households view counts tax-filing households of every age from 2022 to 2023 IRS records. This view counts individual people in one age group from a 2024 Census survey. They measure different things in different years, so the two sets of numbers are shown side by side and never added together. Census age data stops at the state level, so there is no county detail here. More in the guide.
