Net interstate balance
Texas recorded 72,680 more arrivals from other states than departures to them (difference ± 32,775, 90% MOE). That balance is larger than its own margin of error, so the direction is distinguishable from zero at 90% confidence.
Difference test: √(MOE_in² + MOE_out²) per Census Bureau statistical-testing guidance. Not a net count of trucks or shipments.
