This is an increase over the year before, when 611 people migrated to Lee County from elsewhere in the state.

The number of people moving to Lee County is offset by the 867 residents who left the area during the same year.

There were 821 people who left the year before.

Migration data for the U.S. is based on year-to-year address changes reported on individual income tax returns filed with the IRS.
