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.

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.
I bet you don't get the flu either. People with type A are most resistant, but people with type AB are a close second. I skip the flu shot because I've never caught the flu. Type O is screwed (but they're most resistant to syphilis, if its any consolation to them),
I have had colds but I honestly don't think I have ever had the flu. None of that bodyache violently ill stuff that I have seen people have. Seriously, if not I must have had a really easy case of it. I had strep a few times I guess.
I've got tiger blood bitchez! yew! JK
Very close, yes, there are FAR MORE mosquitoes in the northern boggy areas than in Florida, in spite of the fact that Florida is a huge limestone sponge with millions of ponds and lakes.
But that is not the primary reason why the mosquitoes in the north are MUCH WORSE than the mosquitoes in the south.
What's the damn answer man!
A: short breeding season. They're Ice-Is Mozzies.
Kinda like Muzzie refugees in Cologne Germany, on a New-Year's Eve, wearing white Nikes: Just Do Her! Do her now!
(are Sarc tags really necessary?)
I think it's got something to do with hot sauce consumption.
I'm in NW Wisconsin, and the last two days I've been out walking I've counted a dozen mosquitos flying around already. Its low 30's and snowing out for crissakes! Summer is gonna be hell.
Im in NE Indiana and ive seen a couple of those cocksuckers too. Thought i was losing my mind. No wonder mosquitoes have been found in millions of years old amber resin.....fuckin things will outlast humans by 100 million years. Fuckers.
God loves mosquitoes, so turn the other cheek (face or butt), fer Chrissakes!
It's what Jesus wants you to do: turn the other cheek. And don't forget that our Caucasian-looking God knew hundreds of millions of years earlier, when he was just warming up on his genetic-engineering skills, that Man would duck up (rather than Him), and so He made mosquitoes. That he kept out of the Garden of Eden with Deer or a giant screen-Dome.
Reason 2 - more water
There's more than one species, maybe depending on where you life, and they're out and about at different times of day. Also carry more than one (maybe more than two) disease(s).
And stopping for green lights and then running through them when they turn red...
People drive in Fla? Half the cars on the road that I saw, looked to be unmanned. I hardly ever saw a head in the seat. Hell, I seldom same an entity that could see over the dash!
FORWARD SOVIET!
Half the vehicles in FL couldn't pass a safety inspection. Really scary ... and sad.
Yankees (erm, people from the urban NE), do not move to Florida!
Also, rednecks out the wazoo! Mosquitos! Lots of you are already down here!
Swamps!
Especially do not come if you're, um, a liberal. Have enough of 'em already.
Florida is where yankees come to die.
I hate yankees.
Cold hearted mean people with no soul.
Gasoline prices are so high it will give you a heart attack!
I bet you really hate Ohioans.
Fucking Ohioans. Assholes who don't know how to drive. Laying low in the fast lane driving 55 mph without acknowledging the speed limit is 70 and won't get over. Dirty trashy state...
So true!
Lower cost of living cannot be the only reason, however. I myself reside in the fair magnolia state (Mississippi for some of y'all) and we still have one of the lowest COLs in the country. We have had a lot put out of work with the gulf oil rigs being shut down this past year though, but they are not moving. Must be the few yanks we still have down here is my guess, which is fine by us! A bunch of freaks that dont know the meaning of "you dont air your dirty laundry in public"
I havea high regard for people from Mississippi.
They have the guts to keep their flag unchanged.
As a public service:
Liberals would not be happy here in Texas. The state is entirely too small, crowded, and freezing cold all year long. Besides that, the fishing's no good.
Worst thing about Tx. is the racist Latinos
Jobs are good. Just not a lot to do
Florida is hit n miss. It ain't all Mickey mouse. You make a wrong turn in a big city you can end up in the ghetto. Was shocked to hear about linemen needing police escorts in some neighborhoods as theyd be fires upon while working.
I see why some go to NC but don't see the draw to SC.
South Carolina is a more interesting state than you might expect. Great place when I was a kid for some 5 years there.
Yeah, SC is a fucking cloudy, cold, icy wasteland. Zero in the way of social services and free shit. And the locals? Man, it's like the cast of Deliverance, except they're all armed and aggressive like someone raised the price of admission @ Thunderdome (to $1.00). Lots of banjo noise at night, not to mention the smell of rotting shit. Let me tell you, there is a LOT of difference between the smell of cow shit, pig shit, sheep shit, chickenshit, and horseshit. Like an expert sommelier, SC residents can distinguish the type of animal (and what they most recently ate) just by driving by. Also, you can see the lights from the 'stills after dark, kind of like 'refinery row' on the Jersey Turnpike. About once a week, one of these explodes, turning 100s of surrounding acres into a smouldering Centralia-esque disaster envirnomental zone. If you are a Lying Lefty looking for a new place to 'gentrify', FLEE, FLEE for your lives!!!!!!
I see what you did there +1
Upstate SC is a paradise for a nature-loving, warm-weather person who doesn't want to be drowned in politically correct bullshit and doesn't want to suffer an obnoxious cost of living.
I lived out there many moons ago managing a bunch beverage carts of golf courses when I was a young pup. I liked it there. The very north end and the southern coast of NC is pretty awesome, or was anyway.
I bet you have a good story or two about "beverage girls" working for tips. :)
Shut up. You are full of shit. It is the absolute worst place on Earth for anyone to live.
Are you an idiot? STOP ADVERTISING. When others move there it will fuck up your corner on paradise, Shhhhhhhhh..
Zactly how the remaing Native Floridians feel...shhhhh ;-)
Never took you for a Seminole, funny old world eh?
Yes, it is. For all intents and purposes, the Seminole is Creek. I claim Creek ancestry through my mothers bloodline.
Like most of us, I'm a mutt ;-)
That's EXACTLY what happened to Oregon.
It's been Californicated.
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 ;-)
Speak the truth, brother nmewn. Been a citizen of this state since 1994. Seen a lot of changes. Not too sure if any were for the better. Went from having Jeb Bush for a governor to Charlie ( No, really, I'm not gay ) Crist to Governor Skeletor ( aka Rick Scott )
And all of them corportist whores.
Don't forget humidity, heat, hurricanes, Al Pachino with a chainsaw, sharks, Jeb, mint daiquiris, fat old people in bikinis ...
And a couple of those fat assed Kardashian whores down in Miami. Or did those skanks move back Hellifornia ?
I don't follow that shit, I wouldn't know. ;-)
Neither do I. Just happened to be surfing the boob toob in a hotel while on business and came across the opening sequence to a show with O.J. Simpson's daughter, Khloe and the little short bitch sister ( I can't think of her name ) shaking their fat asses on a yacht in Miami. The title song had something about Miami as well.
That's all I know. Promptly turned the channel.
There are almost 100 species of mosquitoes in Florida. Mosquitoes all year long.
That's funny!
"Hello, I live in Florida and I'm trying to write whatever it takes to dissuade y'all from coming down here!"
NM, don't forget sinkholes.
I am old enough to remember driving in Florida when it was safe, when people actually let you in in traffic and did other nice things. Then the New Yorkers came....
Like the Northern Star as a constant.....Illinois is ALWAYS Yellow.....
Oregon has no sales tax but crushingly high income tax and high property tax, especially in the Portland area, where the roads are just linear parking lots most of the day.
Vancouver, WA offers no income tax with sales tax free shopping just over the bridge in Portland + great food, night life, etc
A friend in Portland pays $8,000 property tax a year on a $500K house.
And the Oregon state income tax rate hits 9% at just $9,000 of taxable income.
And it's chilly most of the year.
