Americans Can't Wait To Get Out Of These Five States
A low cost of living, no sales tax, and beautiful scenery (oh, naked bike rides, more strip clubs per capita than any other US city, and legalized weed) means Oregon is the "top moving destination" for Americans for the third year running, according to United Van Lines, with 69% of moves inbound. But, which states are Americans leaving in droves?
Americans continue to pack up and head West and South, according to new data from United Van Lines.
Oregon is the most popular moving destination of 2015 with 69 percent of moves to and from the state being inbound. The state has continued to climb the ranks, increasing inbound migration by 10 percent over the past six years. New to the 2015 top inbound list is another Pacific West state, Washington, which came in at No. 10 with 56 percent inbound moves.
Moving In - The top inbound states of 2015 were:
- Oregon
- South Carolina
- Vermont
- Idaho
- North Carolina
- Florida
- Nevada
- District of Columbia
- Texas
- Washington
The Northeast continues to experience a moving deficit with New Jersey (67 percent outbound) and New York (65 percent) making the list of top outbound states for the fourth consecutive year. Two other states in the region — Connecticut (63 percent) and Massachusetts (57 percent) — also joined the top outbound list this year. The exception to this trend is Vermont (62 percent inbound), which moved up two spots on the list of top inbound states to No. 3.
Moving Out - The top outbound states for 2015 were:
- New Jersey
- New York
- Illinois
- Connecticut
- Ohio
- Kansas
- Massachusetts
- West Virginia
- Mississippi
- Maryland
Simply put, Americans are moving from heavily-regulated, bureaucratic, high cost-of-living states to more affordable states.
This year's data from United Van Lines...
And the interactive version from the last 39 years...
Finally, as The Daily Signal concludes,
Moving patterns show how important cost of living is to American families.
With perfect weather and a booming, high-tech economy, California ought to be the #1 destination. Instead, more moving trucks are leaving the state than entering.

The 80's & 90's drug corridor ravaged the people and quality of life in all those yellow states.
I was just gonna point out I-70. Federal Misery Lanes?
Cali--no one ever comes, or leaves.
Equal white flight from California as Mexicans moving in......
"Everyone just wants to be free, left alone, and able to keep the money they earned."
Well, except for the liberals who want THOSE people to pay their way, too.
People are moving to Oregon in droves because it's the only state that's BOTH CHEAP AND LIBERAL you dumbasses.
Ok then name another one. Right...
Great. Everybody is moving to Florida. In less than a generation it will be the East Coast version of California. Only with sinkholes.
Only if you suck, do you get sinkholes.
Well....that's the issue. We have so many people sucking in this state, metaphorically and physically. Our waters tables are draining fast, and down south they are already dealing with salt water intrusion. Only going to get worse with more people coming in.
States are like petri dishes. They have finite boundaries and finite resources. Put some bacteria or yeast cultures in a petri dish. With their built in instinct to eat without regard to limits the entire culture will die in their own waste.
That's Florida in 40 years.
Gators and those prehistoric bugs will clean it up in no time.
Gubmint: Ctrl-Alt-Del. Fukem. Fukemall.
Why isn't Cali yellow?
It's yellow all right... no worries. :-)
[edit: not intended to be a racist joke, more of a cowardice thing].
coming in from the south
It soon will be. Throw leaking nattie on top of the heap of reasons to leave.
Free Shit Cali while it lasts.
You can afford it only, of you don't file taxes.
Cause it's tricolor: Brown, Yellow and White.
So even claim it's a rainbow now.
Jersey #1 in something..again
Hoping it was the state with the best tomatoes and corn survey..
If you've ever driven around Newark, I'd rather spend time inside Fukushima,its
healthier.
Heard while in a car & someone farts, folks roll the windows up in Newark.
Correct
That would be the stretch of turnpike between exit 12 to 16, also the best time to let one rip, nobody in the car would notice..
Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Camden, East Orange, are shitholes that rival detroit, only differance is there heavily populated.
Healthier? no, safer absolutely..
Yes, there are a LOT of crappy places in NJ....
As a former New Jerseyan, whose family has roots there:
I have to agree that there are a lot of crappy places in NJ...but there are also a lot of good ones.
It'd be interesting to determine an answer to a question:
What do all the crappy places in NJ have in common?
The actual answer would be considered "racist", in most cases.
Sidenote:
My great-grandparents are buried in Woodland Cemetery, in Newark, NJ - 15 years' ago, I almost got killed there trying to find the gravestones so I could take some pictures of them.
I say "almost killed" because the only thing that kept it from happening, was my 120+ lb. dog, who managed to surprise the "people" who were about to attack me.
I only had the dog with me, because getting a gun (and a carry-permit) are next to impossible in the People's Republic of New Jersey.
Gun restrictions alone, are enough reason to move out of NJ.
Out in PA?
I have a harder time finding intelligent conversation, good restaurants, and good night life, so it's really all a question of trade-offs.
Pennsyltuckians are clannish, and to them, I will always be an outsider, even though I think like they do, and have very similar interests (for the most part).
New Jerseyans, on average, are much more intelligent than Pennsyltuckians, but most New Jerseyans are completely helpless, compared to the people here.
Some examples:
Shooting - PA is a Sniper State. 750,000 hunters, most of whom are proficient with firearms at longer distances, plus tons of target shooters, and former military who are expert-level marksmen.
Hunting - The average New Jerseyan will only ever kill a deer, if they hit it with their car, and wouldn't know what to do with the meat anyway. Out here, if a deer gets hit on the roadways, someone usually stops to pick it up, as long as it's fresh.
Fishing - Except for the coastal fishing towns in NJ (where I'm from), most Pennsyltuckians are better than average fishermen.
Camping - Actually, I give this one to NJ. When I lived there, I used to camp at the Water Gap, Allaire (illegally) and in south Jersey on the regular. Backpack and tent, or out of the car, open stars on a warm night. Pennsyltuckians? For them, camping means "pulling your pop-up, or RV into a campground, setting up, and getting drunk for the next 5 hours".
Farming - Definitely PA. Within 5 miles, I can get fresh beef, pork, poultry, and vegetables (in season), slaughtered or picked that day.
Skilled trades and crafts - There are plenty of skilled people in NJ, but real-world practical skills are everywhere here (so, higher in PA, as a percentage of the overall population). I pay my auto mechanic in beer (which is made by a friend). I'm currently studying blacksmithing, and knifemaking. I give my neighbors fresh vegetables at the end of the growing season, and they in-turn, can them and make salsa, among other things. Skilled machinists are all over the place, as are people who can build houses/cabins, cars, guns, and more, from scratch.
Social value, in this part of PA, is determined by: What kind of person you are, and what skills you have, whereas it's usually about wealth in NJ.
Don't forget the Joisey Devil.
That's a big plus right there.
@ shovelhead:
The Jersey Devil is a definite plus!

41% mortgage delinquency rate as reproted by Zillow.
http://www.zillow.com/visuals/negative-equity/#10/40.7649/-74.0108
Look around the interactive..
I estimate that there are at least $1.6T in delinquent mortgages within 100 miles of where I am presntly in Bergen County, NJ..and that the unrealized losses on the underlying mortgages/securities is at least $800B. More than TARP.
If EVERYONE were kicked out of the homes they are unable or unwilling to pay the mortgages on there would be a diaspora of people on par with what Europe is experiencing. ALL would be looking for the milder climates, cheaper costs of living, and of course the best handouts/social services offered...
A lot of people are going to be leaving the NY/NJ metro region sooner or later as they just afford to live here...
Thanks for the link.
Monmouth County seems to be weathering the storm a bit better, exept the taxes assessed in my 14 yrs. here have gone up 30%
Dont worry, fucking Hovnainian, or Toll brothers will scoop up alot of those areas and put 750K homes in..
The present residents can't pay on the properties they presently occupy and you think that builders are going to tear it all down and build bigger to sell to WHO?
The jobs/wages to support the tax basis and the bubble prices DO NOT exist.
The housing crash was slowed but has not passed. Most of the inventory has NOT cleared.
H1b workers that are taking all the native white peoples jobs
and the union/state thugs that still have jobs here
I agree. The airport is seriously scary...
New Wark was ETOP.s training grounds
What's wrong with Kansas? Awesome pheasant hunting. Oh, live there? Fuck that.
It is horrible to drive through. East-west through Kansas is like the fucking Singularity time warp from Interstellar.
Try it on acid, then it's like a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, only longer, if that's possible.
Can't be any worse than going Illinois north to south....
The Governor of Kansas cuts business taxes believing companies will rush to the State and create jobs and wealth and generate tax revenues to offset the cuts. He just forgot one thing. It's fucking Kansas.
You never have been to Lake Wilson. Big lake about 20 miles N. of 70 smack in the middle of Kansas.
You can see every pebble at a 25 foot depth with miles of rocky faced coves. Strangely beautiful in that undulating hill, waving tallgrass kind of prarie way.
I found it by accident in a 70's cross country trip and it was a very pleasant surprise. We finally saw a person in a boat on our 3rd day camping there. The only person we saw at all.
I must admit that when you weren't in the water it felt like standing in front of a hairdryer in mid July. Not a great place for empty paper plates.
The one State that I had to have my Mother drive for a few hours during our Cross Country Exodus from the NorthEast.
I did that once before on my way to a friend's wedding in CO. Even if you had packed up a set of tunes to listen to, the bland scenery was bad enough to force a change behind the wheel part of the way. I lucked out by taking a shift at night outpacing a thunderstorm from the rear.
"With perfect weather and a booming, high-tech economy, California ought to be the #1 destination. Instead, more moving trucks are leaving the state than entering."
Oh people are moving to California alright.
Walking across, bused, vaned, underground walkways, the border and being flown in on military jetliners.
Stay away from California...especially San Diego, CA.
It is an absolute hellhole. There is just too much plastic here...including plastic tits. Yeah...Fat, obese and wretched old hags, with just a couple of teeth in their mouth, sporting plastic tits because they think that it will make them attractive while letting it all hang out in skimpy bathing suits at the polluted and overcrowded beaches are what you will find.
They are just a bunch of zoned out and strung out liberal tweaks...all of them.
The people here are really low brow. Just look at the Mark Dice videos of the people at the Oceanside Pier.
The air is unbreathable and the traffic is gridlocked 24/7/365...
The police shoot everybody.
It is hell on Earth.
Property prices are just unaffordable and rents are extreme.
Really. With the quality of jobs you cannot afford it.
Public schooloing is abysmal.
Do not come to San Diego, CA. Do not even visit. You will be sadly disappointed. Whatever you do avoid this place like the plague.
*For the rest of you who live here and know better...shhhhhhh.
Dude, unless Miffed M. moves to Florida I'm believing San Diego ain't that bad.
(unless she & Mr. Miffed have already bailed out)
If you think SD is bad try LA and OC. LA is just a gigantic mexican toilet and OC is being invaded by the Chinese in Irvine.
White people with money or jobs live north of SD.
La Jolla (old $ and new drug-$), Cardiff-by-the-Sea, etc.
Concur.
Cities - LA through SD - are going down the Drain. Slowly but surely.
Illegals(from all over the World) keep moving in, Culture-Apartheid War/Proselytization Cult/Paedophie-Clergy-Condoners/TWN-CHN Money peddle their influences as they fill in the Power Gap, Businesses moving out - especially Mfg - out of the State, Silicon Valley is becoming stagnant - with too much idle Capital chasing fluff/vaporware being touted nowadays.
I've been trying to leave for years; but the overwhelming number of parasites, thieves, and the corrupt which sabotaged the State - many, as expected, working for the MIC/FedGov/StateGov/LocalGov - are desperate to prevent a Brain Drain.
California is a Failed State - more Public Assistance recipients (housing so bloated that households with 90K/Yr get housing assistance - FUBAR'd) than people working.
NAFTA, H-1Bs, lowered tariffs that allowed for the exodus of Mfg and R&D Assets are the engine behind the Failed Policies of the Libtards/Free-Traders/Neo-Cons.
California is balanced?
Edit: slow internet connection:(
Oregon and Washington may well come to be impacted by Fukushima.
If all the LA folks need to leave because of the gas leak going on, this map could get really interesting. There may come a point where movers will want a premium to help you move, or refuse to go in at all!
Your right. Arnie Gunderson a nuclear engineer with 44 years in the industry said that they found plenty of radioactive particles in car filters, vacuum filters, AC filters in the the Seattle area some years back.
Nobody challenged that for years but I have noticed more recently that people tearing him apart saying that he has an agenda and it has become controversial. Seattle was getting non stop rain when the worst of the plumes were headed west, Alaska and BC likely got it as well.
They say there was nothing to be worried about and yet the authorities didn't seem to concerned with monitoring for radiation.
AG also said Fuku could have been mitigated with sulphur.
