- Description/Excerpt: The Internal Revenue Service monitors the peregrinations of taxpayers by counting the number of households leaving from and arriving in all 3,142 United States counties. The New York Times looked at the most recent five years of this data, highlighting places that gained a net of 6 percent or more of their taxpaying households during that time - that is, the top 10 percent of gainers.
With the single exception of Las Vegas, no city proper makes the list of substantial gainers; American taxpayers by and large are outward bound. But this isn't uniformly a migration to exurbs, or to traditional Sunbelt or Western destinations like Florida or Arizona.
