D.C. residents come from every state in the union, according to an analysis by the city. And when they leave, many stay close, choosing to move to either Maryland or Virginia.

As the Washington Business Journal first noted, D.C.’s Office of Revenue Analysis was inspired by a New York Times feature to look at where people in D.C. come from and go to next.

From the report:

Almost two-thirds of D.C. residents in 2012 were born outside the city and they come from a number of states, according to a set of elegant graphics published by the New York Times on Aug. 14, 2014. To take a closer look at where people come from when they move to D.C. and where they go when the leave the city, the Office of Revenue Analysis made the maps below using IRS migration data. The top map shows the number of people moving into D.C. between 2010 and 2011 and their states of origin. The bottom map shows the number of people moving out of D.C. and their destinations during the same time
period. The IRS migration data estimates the number of movers by counting the number of personal exemptions claimed by tax filers who change addresses from one year to the next.

While people from Maryland still moved to D.C. between 2010 and 2011 (12,422), more left during that time period (15,005), the biggest loss of residents to any state. D.C. also lost 251 residents to Mississippi, while gaining just 75 from the Magnolia State.
