Oregon holds on to its title as “Top Moving Destination” and continues to pull away from the pack, while the Northeast loses residents for the third consecutive year.
Those are the key findings from United Van Lines’ 38th Annual National Movers Study, which tracks customers’ migration patterns state-to-state during the course of the past year. The study found that Oregon is the top moving destination of 2014, with 66 percent of moves to and from the state being inbound — that’s a nearly 5 percent increase of inbound moves compared to 2013. Arriving at No. 2 on the list was South Carolina (61 percent inbound), followed closely in third by its northern neighbor, North Carolina (61 percent).

Ping.
Yeah, the roadways and a lot of colons ...
“Actually, only the big population centers (Portland, Salem) are predominantly liberal. The rest of the state is pretty much a red state.”
As it is in many “blue” states. Even NY
Maybe the incoming are poor, work a few years, save and can afford a mover on the way out.
And getting more liberal as Kaliforniacs spread their destructive values to neighboring states.
Why are people leaving NM and UT?
Yet.
As the leftward tilt of the state continues, it's just a matter of time.
It’s an assisted-suicide state.
Old report that shows only half or less of the story. You cannot deduce complete migration patterns from the records of one moving company. Not everyone uses a mover or United Van Lines to move. Wealthy and people whose employers are paying for thier moves use moving companies. Less wealthy people move themselves using Uhaul or Budget Rent A Truck.
Stop fawning over this bad data.
You can tell it is bad data by the claim of North Dakota being an out migration state. That flies in the face of all other demographic data.
Bull. NO sales tax, though.

Depends on whether the data were collected before or after the oil collapse.
Oil well drillers don’t use moving companies to move.
An argument could be made that for every rural dweller; their vote should be counted 50 times for every city dweller or whatever the ratio from city to rural is for that state.
Or possibly the representative vote from the rural area should count X times more than the city area rep so all areas are represented equally by land mass and not by population.
Or laws passed by city people only apply to that city and not the state it is located in.
None of this will ever happen but it would be a great way of leveling the playing field.
exactly....Californians....
and they don't let you fill your own gas tank....
