With the cost of housing and other items on the rise in Maryland, the state is losing residents at a steady rate, according to a report from the Maryland Comptroller‘s Office.
Between 2010 and 2023, Maryland lost a total of 2.3 million residents to other states, while approximately 2 million residents from other states moved into Maryland, according to the comptroller’s report.
During this time period, Maryland lost the most residents to Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, South Carolina, West Virginia and Delaware on a net basis; and gained the most residents from Washington, D.C., New York, and New Jersey on a net basis.
The most severe net domestic outmigration occurred post-pandemic (2022 – 2024). In each of these years, Maryland ranked in the top 10 of all U.S. states for the largest net loss of residents to domestic migration.
