美国富人正持续逃离高税收州——纽约市正为此付出代价。
曼哈顿的情况最为明显。2022年至2023年间，这个行政区的新报税人数居全美之首，但随着高收入纳税人离开并被收入更低的新移民取代，该地区的调整后总收入仍损失了约9.22亿美元。
随着2026年中期选举临近，高收入纳税人的迁移已不仅仅是人口统计趋势——它对州长和州议员而言是一场政治和财政考验。在实行累进税制的州，富裕家庭缴纳的所得税占比极高，因此州税基的规模和构成对学校、基础设施及其他公共服务的资金保障至关重要。
各州都在竞相吸引并留住富裕居民，美国国税局（IRS）的最新数据清晰展现了哪些税收政策正在奏效，哪些州正看着宝贵的税收资金流失。

纽约市其他区域及周边郊区也出现了大规模人口外流。
根据IRS数据，2022年至2023年间，皇后区因州际迁移净减少17109名报税人，是全美第二大净流失郡；布朗克斯区减少16319人。萨福克郡和拿骚郡也跻身外流人口最多的十大郡之列。
事实上，报税人数净流失最多的10个郡全部位于纽约州或加州，这凸显出美国一些税收最高、由民主党执政的高成本州仍在持续出现人口外逃。
许多离开纽约的纳税人迁往佛罗里达和德克萨斯等低税收州，这些州近年来是州际移民的最大受益群体，且均由共和党执政。
“很明显，人们最终会用脚投票，当他们觉得自己被征税过重时，就会前往税负更低的地方，”传统基金会首席经济学家E·J·安东尼在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。
“纽约一直在反复吸取这个教训，但显然还没有吸取到位，因为他们一直在流失最宝贵的资源——人才，”他补充道。

这种人口迁移对州财政有着重大影响。
高收入人群缴纳的所得税占州税收收入的比例极高，意味着相对少数富裕家庭的流失就会对政府收入产生不成比例的巨大影响。
曼哈顿的情况凸显了为何经济学家越来越关注收入迁移而非单纯的人口迁移。尽管这个人口最密集的行政区吸引的报税人数比全美任何郡都多，但高收入家庭的流失导致其调整后总收入出现了全美最大幅度的下滑之一。

对于严重依赖高收入人群缴纳税收的州而言，留住富裕居民可能比吸引更多中等收入纳税人更为重要。

安东尼表示，这种迁移模式表明纳税人始终会选择低税收州而非高税收州。
“他们不会去马萨诸塞州、伊利诺伊州或加州，”他说。“他们会去德克萨斯州、田纳西州、佛罗里达州——那些所得税低甚至免征所得税、整体税负水平低的地方。”

America’s top destination for new taxpayers is quietly getting poorer, IRS data reveals
July 10, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Wealthy Americans are continuing to flee high-tax states — and New York City is paying the price.
Nowhere is that more apparent than in Manhattan. The borough led the nation in new tax filers between 2022 and 2023, but it still lost roughly $922 million in adjusted gross income as high-income taxpayers departed and were replaced by lower-earning newcomers.
With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, the migration of high-income taxpayers is becoming more than a demographic trend — it’s a political and fiscal test for governors and state lawmakers. Wealthy households contribute a disproportionate share of income tax revenue in states with progressive tax systems, making the size and composition of a state’s tax base critical to funding schools, infrastructure and other public services.
As states compete to attract and retain affluent residents, the latest data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offers one of the clearest measures of which tax policies are winning, which states are watching valuable tax dollars leave.

Other parts of New York City and its surrounding suburbs also experienced significant outflows.
According to the IRS data, Queens County lost 17,109 tax filers to interstate migration between 2022 and 2023, the second-largest net loss in the nation, while the Bronx lost 16,319. Suffolk County and Nassau County also ranked among the 10 counties with the biggest outflows.
In fact, all 10 counties with the largest net losses in tax filers were located in either New York or California, underscoring the continued exodus from some of the nation’s highest-taxed and most expensive Democrat-run states.
Many of the taxpayers leaving New York have relocated to lower-tax states such as Florida and Texas, which have been among the biggest beneficiaries of interstate migration in recent years and are conversely run by Republicans.
“It’s very, very clear that people ultimately vote with their feet, and when they feel like they’re getting taxed too much, they go somewhere else where they will be taxed less,” E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital.
“New York has been learning that lesson over and over again, but apparently hasn’t learned it well enough yet because they have been hemorrhaging their most valuable resource — people,” he added.

The migration carries significant implications for state finances.
High-income earners account for a disproportionate share of state income tax collections, meaning the loss of relatively few wealthy households can have an outsized effect on government revenues.
Manhattan’s experience underscores why economists increasingly focus on income migration rather than population migration alone. Although the most densely populated borough attracted more tax filers than any county in the nation, the loss of higher-income households produced one of the country’s largest declines in adjusted gross income.

For states that rely heavily on top earners for tax revenue, retaining wealthy residents can matter more than adding larger numbers of middle-income taxpayers.

Antoni said the migration patterns show taxpayers are consistently choosing lower-tax states over higher-tax alternatives.
“They’re not going to Massachusetts or Illinois or California,” he said. “They’re going to Texas. They’re going to Tennessee. They’re going to Florida — places with low or no income taxes and low overall levels of taxation.”
