The County-to-County Migration Patterns of Kansas Taxpayers, 1985-2004

Report discusses the migration patterns of Kansas taxpayers from county to county within the state and across state lines for the time period 1985-2004 and its effect on the Kansas economy. All of the information in this report derives from a dataset maintained by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Table 1 provides a state-level summary of Kansas-related inter-state and intra-state taxpayer migration; it reports only the domestic migration of taxpayers whose movement can be explicitly identified. Table 1 excludes international migration and migration that cannot be identified as inter-state, intra-state, or international due to IRS procedures used to protect the privacy of individual taxpayers. (Table 4 provides information on taxpayer migration statistics that cannot be accurately categorized.).
