out-of-staters
People from elsewhere
People from other states, used by residents to distinguish visitors or newcomers from locals.
The term carries mild territorial undertones—sometimes neutral, sometimes dismissive: Out-of-staters flood the beaches every summer.
Common in states with heavy tourism or seasonal migration, where the distinction between locals and outsiders matters socially or economically.
