AP-Wide Migrant ZIP Code Destinations
Analysis of CBP FOIA Records
National State Rankings
This section aggregates the same cleaned, deduplicated records by state across the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Totals are subject-weighted and use the same valid-ZIP filtering, duplicate handling, and detention-ZIP exclusions as the rest of this report. Territories, military ZIP pseudo-state codes, and other non-state postal codes are excluded from these rankings.
The first table ranks states by total migrants. The second table breaks those state totals out by citizenship; use the citizenship column filter to compare where a specific citizenship ranked across states. Citizenship-state tables include all 50 states and Washington, D.C., including zero-count states, so the filtered view is a complete state comparison.
The final two tables repeat those state comparisons on a per-capita basis, using ACS 2019-2023 state-level total population as the resident denominator. The overall state table is scaled as migrants per 10,000 residents. The citizenship-by-state table is scaled as migrants per 100,000 residents because many citizenship-state counts are too small for a per-1,000 rate to be readable.
