Top Ten States People are Relocating To / From


TOP TEN STATES PEOPLE ARE RELOCATING TO / FROM

Wondering where people were moving in 2014?  I’ve got the info for you!

The Northeast lost residents for the third consecutive year, while some other states were surprises as they gained more residents.

The United Van Lines 38thAnnual National Movers Study  tracked customers migration patterns during the course of the past year.  Oregon was the top moving destination of 2014, with 66 percent of all moves being inbound.  South Carolina was Number 2 (61 percent inbound), followed very closely by North Carolina.

This may reflect longer-terms trends of folks moving to the southern and western states where housing costs are relatively lower, climates are more temperate, and job growth has been at or above the national average. 

In addition to these things, what brings so many of my clients to North Carolina is the outdoor recreation,  great schools and interest in education, arts and entertainment activities,  and green space. 

MOVING IN:  TOP 10 INBOUND STATES OF 2014:
  1. Oregon
  2. South Carolina
  3. North Carolina
  4. Vermont
  5. Florida
  6. Nevada
  7. Texas
  8. District of Columnbia
  9. Oklahoma
  10. Idaho 
MOVING OUT:  TOP 10 OUTBOUND STATES OF 2015:
  1. New Jersey
  2. New York
  3. Illinois
  4. North Dakota
  5. West Virginia
  6. Ohio
  7. Kansas
  8. New Mexico
  9. Pennsylvania
  10. Connecticut 
In a separate survey, United Van Lines also found that the Northeast region had the highest number of people leaving for retirement with more than one in four respondents indicating retirement is the reason for relocation.  The Mountain West had the highest number of retirees moving to the region with nearly one in three individuals surveyed saying they relocated there to retire.

Are you or someone you know thinking of moving or relocating to North Carolina?  Get in touch and I will help you with all the information you need to make a smart move!
