Current rank: #49 of 50 states (-61.9, 2025)
Hawaiʻi was near the national midpoint through 2003, shifted into growing outflow by 2007, and has ranked at or near last every year since 2016. A brief COVID-era recovery reversed sharply by 2022, but the outflow has since eased: 2024 and 2025 were the two mildest years of the past decade, even as the rank stayed at or near last.
