Americans Can't Wait To Get Out Of These Five States

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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:

  1. Oregon
  2. South Carolina
  3. Vermont
  4. Idaho
  5. North Carolina
  6. Florida
  7. Nevada
  8. District of Columbia
  9. Texas
  10. 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:

  1. New Jersey
  2. New York
  3. Illinois
  4. Connecticut
  5. Ohio
  6. Kansas
  7. Massachusetts
  8. West Virginia
  9. Mississippi
  10. 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.

income tax in OR is NOT "crushingly high", and property tax (outside PDX) is a joke... like $1k-2k/yr.

and i've never heard anyone else complain about PDX traffic (apart from 205 @ rushhour).

9% FLAT income tax is FAR WORSE than any sales tax rate, unless of course you are a peasant who earns diddly income.

One of my homes is in Beaverton, have had it for 34 years, and the traffic has grown from OK to strangulation over that period, enough that I have to plan my travel around the time of day so as to not waste the day in traffic. Trying to get in/out of Portland during the morning and afternoon laborer's commuting periods is an excellent way to waste hours sitting in crawling traffic, and if there is an accident or stalled car on the westside HWY26, then you will be stuck there the rest of the day.

Isn't Oregon total tax burden fairly high up there?

WA & OR have 'mirror opposite' tax schemes...

WA = high sales taxes, no income tax (up to $250k)
OR = zero sales tax, 9% income tax (note: OR incomes/wages are on the low side relative to other west coast states)

So, yes, VancouverWA is as close to a 'tax haven' as you'll find in the lower 48... live/earn in WA, shop in OR.

Sounds like a Georgia/Florida game.

(except for the mosquitos, gators, west nile disease, chickengunya, aids, hiv, ecoli seawater, hate crimes, hurricanes, el ninos, gulf oil spills, ww2 U-boat diseases, etc, etc.

Hell, it's not even safe to go out to a restaurant for dinner any moar after dark.

It is rainy, wet, and cold....filled with those buttinski liberals who are seeking to control your life..Traffic is horrible.

 

Do not consider this for your sake and go elsewhere.

Washington State does not have a personal or corporate income tax. However, persons that engage in business in Washington are subject to business and occupation and/or public utility tax. These taxes are based on gross receipts of the business.

The only reason Virginia isn't yet among the states people are fleeing from is the huge importation of people to work for the Federal government.

 

Personally, I've fled from four of those 10 states (NY, CT, NJ, and MD in chronological order) and am currently much more happily residing in one of the "high inbound" states. Guess I was ahead of the curve.

You fled 4 nigger infested shit holes.  And yea, NOVA is just a non-white Bolshevik extension of D.C.  It has nothing in common with 90% of Virginia by land mass.

Unfortunately NOVA is where the population is, and they're the ones now running the state. The election of Terry McAuliffe as Governor is all you need to know about how far Virginia has fallen.

Yes, we are in the process of fleeing "Occupied Virginia".  "Real" Virginia used to start south of the Rappahannock River on I-95, but the transplants have begun pushing their way through there too.

As a fellow upstater I think it's more like 10 to 15 years. The northern invasion has been going for 20 years now. Taxes are still low. Real estate is booming and fairly cheap. Infrastructure is a problem though. I'll take the rough roads over higher taxes any day but the low tax environment will not last much longer. Our local politicians do not spend wisely and as taxes go up I suspect that will not change much. But all that said, living here is pretty easy.

Chile used to be at the top of my list too, but on closer inspection, they have the same enviro lack of concern that the Chinese do.  It's a very real problem.

That big yellow line you're seeing already has a name for it: Rust Belt.

It extends from Eastern Colorado all the way to to New Jersey, and from upstate New York mill towns down through Baltimore, West Virginia, and the factories of Missouri.

Had no idea it was pushing into Mass. and Connecticut.  Now that I think about it Rhode Island is in bad shape too.

Colorado cannot keep up with building new houses and the Californians cannot wait after cashing out.

So they move to Oregon.

Thank God. Fortunately, they all moved to the Denver Metro area so they will be exterminated in one big bunch when the bombs fall.

How will I know that Denver has been nuked? When I smell burning pot on the breeze from the North and the power goes out.

It's whites fleeing non-whites.  End of story.  Whites are happy to pay high taxes and embrace socialism when they are around other whites.  It even worked for a while in Sweden until they brought in millions of non-whites which are currently literally raping them to death.

Anyway, all American migration patterns are whites fleeing non-whites.

Whites fleeing high taxes that Jewish Bolsheviks use to fund huge negroid broods of violent animals that attack their children and kill them in their homes.  Fleeing to places like Idaho and Oregon which are rural and white.

Unfortunately the government will relocate millions of syrians and niggers to the few remaining white enclaves of America after whites spend a generation or two building them up and turning wilderness into prosperous cities.

Boise has housing projects in the middle of the city, don't know if Turkish or Iraqi or what, but Persian rugs and cricket bats, and cameras everywhere, very clean.

 

But that's Boise, so "housing project" might be an overstatement when compared to back out east or south.

Moslems lay low when they are a small percentage of the population.  The first generation also tends to be better cuz they know how horrible the Moslem shithole they came from is.  The 2nd generation tends to be radical, listen to rap music, act like gangsters, rape lots of white girls, and then go off to Syria to wage Jihad.  Then they come back "home" and commit acts of terror in their adopted white Christian "home."  And as they breed a larger population, well, look at France and Belgium.

Ah, but it's not just a "religion".

It's a WAY OF LIFE: an integrated system of Politics, Law, Commerce and Religion. 

I'd argue that, because of the aforementioned attributes, it's perfectly OK to discriminate against Islam, based on their Politics, Law, Commerce alone.  We'll ignore their religious rituals of prayer - which are no less quaint (or bizarre in some cases) than those of the Jews or Christians.
