Here’s the 2012 Atlas Vans migration report. Again, North Carolina is a top ranker. And as you guessed, the Northeast is a bunch of losers. I believe the Old North State should implement a migration policy. We need to protect ourselves from the nimrods that’ve destroyed their native state’s economy.
Washington DC led the country in net inward migration for the 7th-consecutive year, according to Atlas Vans' annual U.S. and Canada moving trends map (via Catherine Rampell).
Meanwhile, New York, New Jersey and most Midwest states continue to see high rates of residents checking out.
Washington's inbound flows have actually been trailing off since 2007, when they hit 701. In 2012 they were just 510.
Still, it clearly has not lost its appeal.
North Carolina's status should also not be surprising — it's the state where our "Mr. U.S. Economy" moved after he was laid off and lost his home (don't worry, he's doing great now).
Wyoming shot back to the top of the outbound list after seeing a flat year in 2011. Nebraska has been "outbound" for two consecutive years. New York has been outbound since at least 2003.
Meanwhile, no Midwestern state has been classified as inbound for more than 10 years, Atlas says.
And to see why that is, check out the best and worst states to do business map. That’ll answer your question.
