In 2019, 244 people moved to Mercer County from within the state, according to migration data from the Internal Revenue Service.

This is an increase over the year before, when 223 people migrated to Mercer County from elsewhere in the state.

The number of people moving to Mercer County is offset by the 401 residents who left the area during the same year.

There were 369 people who left the year before.
