United Van Lines Reports Highest Inbound State Is North Carolina While People Flee Michigan
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
United Van Lines has released their annual report on inbound and outbound traffic into each state. This is a good indicator of where the migration trends across the country are for 2006. The trend of people leaving the Northeast and Midwest is continuing as high taxes and low employment prospects are providing motivation for people to leave. The west and southeast are taking up the slack.
One interesting tidbit in the survey that we do not show here is that Florida for the first time in a long time has had more people leave than stay according to the survey. The combination of high property values, higher taxes and insurance costs has created a negative outflow of residents.
