Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas were all some of the fastest growing cities in the country for years. Their population grew steadily for many years. People are moving in and out of the Las Vegas area all the time – or are they? It looks like that might have changed over the past couple years.
An annual study by United Van Lines looked at how many Americans moved into – and out of – all 50 states. It’s interesting to see how we re-shuffled ourselves, and where people are going – and where they are NOT going.
VERMONT saw the highest percentage of INBOUND migration for the second straight year. The rest of the Top 10 are: Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Delaware,, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., which counted as a state, South Dakota, New Mexico, Alabama.
The most popular state to move OUT of was NEW JERSEY for the fifth year in a row. Illinois was second, followed by New York, Michigan, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Louisiana, and California.
There are several “balanced” states, which means about the same number of residents were moving in as out. NEVADA is now one of the most balanced states in the country, along with Missouri. Really? People aren’t flocking to Missouri? Though it is surprising that Las Vegas has leveled off the way it has.
So what are the top CITIES people are moving to? You might be surprised…
