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.

PNW summers are incredible - you folks have NO idea what you're talking about.
Everybody should move to PNW!
Indeed they are. That's mostly because for nine months out of the year you don't see blue skies so when the sun comes out, everyone goes nuts.
He's talking about Portland, not the Pacific Northwest generally (which is obviously awesome). Portland weather is perpetually cloudy.
Myself, I love that drive on I-84 along the Columbia River gorge. You can scoot much faster than here in Illinois, with far less traffic.
Are you as dumb as you look? Stop advertising, FFS!
come to NJ and pay $9500 in taxes for a $400k home, Christie has you beat.
You dudes are pikers. I pay right at $5k for a condo I own valued at $160k in shitcago. Neighborhood turned to shit because aforementioned negroids moved in
Ad valorem taxes in New Jersey are ridiculously high. In New Jersey, government owns your house!
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.
Maybe I'm your 'hood. In mine, a $500k house costs $7000/yr.
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.
True for the South in general. Do yourself a favor & move to OR.
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.
stop being an idiot by reporting this. Do you really want a bunch of people up there spoiling it???
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.
Are you sure you're not some sort of economic Typhoid Mary? If you do move again, let us know in advance.
LOL I think I'm safe for the next 20 years or so here in upstate SC. If the northern disease comes down here in my lifetime, my next stop is Chile.
It's coming. I see new Yankee license plates every day.
Yes, me too, and some parts of the state are starting to feel foreign to the natives
I'm glad you found a place to truly call home.
i'd worry more about south florida half backs.
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.
Oregon is the new Colorado? A couple years ago all the old hippies were moving to Colorado for the legal weed, but it looks like that has leveled off....
Idaho is the new Colorado and it's going to fuck up the state and fucking ruin it just like it did Colorado.
Its not the liberals and their devil lettuce that ruined Colorado.
Its the bible thumping morons.
Nil Sine Numine, bub.
As a proud Coloradan, I say "well met!"
I will say this.
Denver has really good muni courses.
But I have never met more insane people in my life than in Colorado.
Beats California hands down.
You come to the Fourteener Paradise to play golf in the flatlands and you think we're crazy?
Dude, I'm stealing the shit out of "devil lettuce." Fuck it, your whole post almost won all the internets!
Hi, I'm from Ft. Collins. Do you know Jesus?
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.
That's why my CO friends (UK transplants via OR) live 20 miles out and in the hills at 7000 feet.
apparently the author of the articles seems to think Oregon is not highly regulated and run by progressive moon bats with ever more regulation in the making ? you do know why the Burns thing is happening , right ? fuck Kawleefornya and stay home, at least until it falls in the ocean or blows up.
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.
Head North.
I'd append your last sentence with... "and non-whites following them for the same reason: need for welfare, safer 'hoods and better schools."
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.
that is the plan
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.
