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.

Thanks, will check it out.
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.
Did he? I did a search and couldn't find anything except him explaining why the California blowout smells like sulphur. Not that it is not there just that I couldn't find it.
Probably not nuclear related but did anybody see the mountain lion that had teeth in it's head in Idaho? Freakin wickied. Brave soul that shot that thing. I would've been running screaming "It's the chupacabra!"

AG was on CTM where he stated that.
I've also read zeolite.
I've not a clue.
Not my field.
Those pic's look doctored.
Not to say that it isn't from Fuku, but the radiation may have been from the Hanford site which is a complete and utter clusterfuck unto itself and has been from the beginning.

Thx
Oregon over due for the big one.

Don't forget the Yellowstone supercaldera! Yikes!
RS - make sure this includes the Big LNG Bomb going through FERC approval for Ukraine & Asia's LNG import, being built in the Cascadia Earthquake Zone;

It even gets better, watch this New Carissa crash video(same LNG location) & realize how the feds will take care of an accident ;

I urge all new yellow state transplant to check out Coos Bay, OR....lots of job opportunities for you, bring your tent & tarps!!! Be sure not to bring your guns as the Meth Heads don't like resistance..plus bikers they like to run you off the 2 lane roads. Crab season went to shit - No crabbing due to warm temps & poison ocean???
Day after Fukushima we lost 600 trees in a short term wind gust in Roseburg, OR(blowback?)Garden that year had sunflowers, tomatos sprouting out deformaties- Now check this out:http://kpic.com/outdoors/mountain-lion-with-rare-deformity-found-in-sout...

So being nearby I'm not getting why the fuck anyone outside of hipster bartender types would want to move Oygun.
Portland is the most over hyped dump on the Left Coast. The retarded sexually ambiguous sheepistanis are so over the top PC you can't get out of there fast enough. The eastern part of the state is like being trapped in a Green Acres rerun.
Around Bend is nice and have some beautiful scenario, but they have chased most business out and everyone lives over in Vancouver WA side of the bridge and commutes in.
On the plus side cigs are only 50 a carton and they have a great foodie scene.
The price of cigarettes is closer to $85 to $90 per carton in Vancouver, WA.
If you smoke it makes perfect sense to drive over the bridges to get your cigarettes...or...even better still...quit smoking.
And as for residence...Many more people live in Portlland and the surrounding communities on the Oregon side of the river than do in Vancouver. (Let's keep it that way. Shhhhh...)
Try finding an IT job in the Central Valley. I'm talking south of Sac and east of the Bay Area. Fucking impossible! That's one reason people move to Portland.
People are moving to Oregon (#3 most liberal state in the union) and Vermont (#14 most liberal state) in droves because they are the cheapest places to get away from you ignorant hateful obese motherfuckers LOL.
Cuhomo, Dublutarski paying attention? class? anyone?

The taxes in Illinois are outrageous. Especially around the surrounding suburbs.
A school system where HS teachers with 32 years of service get bumped up to 35 years and retire out at $144,000 or more per year. With a pension of $104,000/year around the Chicago area.
Property taxes are $8,000/yr or more for a 2,000 sq ft house.
Highest state and local sales taxes
==============================================
Chicago, Illinois: 10.25 percent (starting Jan 1, 2016)
Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama: 10 percent
Seattle, Washington: 9.6 percent
Glendale, Arizona:, 9.5 percent
And the public unions keep asking for more as well as more taxes.
What better reason to bale from Illinois.
Yikes
That is bad, and still Jersey tops the list of depressants..
note: WA (seattle) has zero income taxes (under $250k/yr.), thus the high sales taxes.
I don't know if this is still true, but the last time I was up there liquor was a state monopoly. Cost $50 for a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Oh, and no Class 3 weapons allowed in Washington.
They did away with that but a lot of other things still suck. Huge taxes on sin items and I think smokes are like $800 a pack now. Spent a lot of my life there, lived on both sides of the state and I wont be going back. I don't hate it but I'm allergic to patchouli and rain. Cities like Spokane in Eastern Washington are gross and riddled with meth. Central Washington is Hanford, apples and Mexicans. Vancouver isn't bad but to each their own I guess.
Wouldn't mind having a rental in the Seattle area after housing collapses though.
Try Evan Williams instead of Jack Daniels.
Fucking Evan Williams? Jesus Christ!! I wouldnt clean a wound with that swill. You want a good bourban grab a bottle of 2 year cask strength Willet. Not sure if im spelling it righ, but its the best whiskey you can get for under $40.
I agree, I hate it here too. Would love to move back to Oregon if I could find a job there.
Man those people coming to Florida are in for a shock, alligators, snakes and mosquitoes the size of pterodactyls.
And fucking Yankees as far as the eye can see, driving with their left turn signal on, in the right lane...for miles & miles ;-)
Mosquitoes in northern states, eg Alaska, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc are MUCH worse than mosquitoes in Florida, for two reasons, one is northern species are larger - does anyone know the 2nd more important reason ???
They have a limited time to feed and breed and that makes them more aggressive. Southern mosquitoes have all year.
Yep, matches some of my experiences in Maine and Minnesota. Summer time can be rough in the Northern Wastelands.
Never go out after dark!
It's not worth the blood loss in swampy Florida.
That's a good joke !
You are on the correct general track, but that is not the specific reason why the mosquitoes in the north are much worse than the mosquitoes in the south.
Think about this: what senses do mosquitoes use to find their prey and how are those senses affected by the environment ?
I read somewhere they home in on carbon dioxide concentrations, when we exhale we give up our position. I used to think it was sweat or B.O.
I must stank when I'm out catfishing.
And the color white.
So they can see your CO2 easier in cooler climes or detect it more easily. Or the heat is easier to detect.
You got it !
Mosquitoes track their prey using 2 senses:
1. Carbon dioxide gradient, very inaccurate, especially with breezes
2. Heat gradient, very accurate, however the relatively higher heat in the south results in the heat gradient between prey and background being too small in daytime for mosquitoes to track prey effectively, and that is why mosquitoes in the south are most active in the relatively cooler morning/evening and under the canopy of forests, while in the north, the relatively cooler temperatures results in the heat gradient between prey and background being large enough in daytime for mosquitoes to track prey effectively, which is why in the north you get devoured by mosquitoes all day long. Actually, the cooler the temperature, the more active and aggressive the mosquitoes are because their heat detector targets you with the precision of a laser sight. Try going fishing in Alaska, Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine in summertime without heavy-duty mosquitoes protection and you will find out quickly, but not a problem in Florida, unless you are under a forest canopy.
Wear light colored clothing. It helps a lot.
You're an idiot?
"...does anyone know the 2nd more important reason ???"
Yeah, they're after MY blood.
Nmewn, you are correct. Latest Vote-With-Your-Feet evidence: People spelunk around for a section outside of a small town, find a seller of an acre (Who formerly demanded thousands and thousands and are now sacrificing) and get an old Katrina trailer and Zowie!, "We now live in Flawda!!!".
Yankees, they call it FloriDUH! Don't move (t)here.....
Because of tundra I'm guessing, it doesn't drain well. Mosquitos are way worse in places like Alaska and ND than in the South in my opinion. I have spent time in all of those areas and only in Alaska have I see the sky turn black with clouds of millions of them. I have seen people turn black in ND. I wouldn't be surprised if they occasionally kill off wild life, I know the ticks in MN do.
Through my own observations I have noticed that people with O blood type get nailed by mosquitos. Everytime I see somebody getting bit to death I ask them what their blood type is. I had a friend visit that was O- recently and he was bit constantly in my backyard. I have never been bitten in my backyard. I think I am AB blood type.
It's called Mothers Way of natural selection.
Not to mention type Os are much less likely to form blood clots and get heart attacks. And about half the world population is type O. I guess natural selection has been working in our favor all along. You guys keep dreaming, but in the end you would wish you were type Os hahaha
You musta downvoted me for a generalization?
Need a pat on the head for acknowledgement?
Go forit.
