About 2% of the US population moves to a new state each year. Also states are very large, any most of them encompass radically different socioeconomic regions (try comparing Florida swampland to Miami highrises...) Any study that buckets people by state isn't going to be very useful.

Socioeconomic status is a weaker correlate to IQ than some other more prominent metrics.

The whole thing is kind of misleading because the correlation exists but isn't through the roof.
