Right. But this is specifically people who moved to Chicago who were living in another state or country a year prior. That Chicago number is 31% above the next highest number from 2012 to 2022 too. The other places that were at highs in 2022 were only 3% above the next highest.
I can't tell whether it was legitimately an uptick or whether it is a partial correction in terms of bad estimations in previous years. The outflow to out of state is similar to other years and actually below some others in the mid 2010s. The ACS is a weird animal and I think as galleyfox has shown, there could be some contradictions from one table to another in terms of what overall population could be. I think some of the trends hold up though no matter what from what I've seen.
