Massachusetts

Massachusetts is great if you want to study, see a doctor, and get a fresh lobster roll. Sadly, the cost of living makes it hard for residents to make ends meet. This state has an outbound move rate of 55.7%. People from all age groups are leaving, but the pack is led by folks 55 years old and older. Over half of those who leave do so for jobs. As you can imagine, not a lot of them are happy about the terrible traffic, soaring housing costs, and harsh winters. We do not blame them at all for moving out of here.

Ohio

Ohio is an inviting place with its amusement parks, islands, and cuisine. A lot of people from the coastal states like it here, but people are leaving despite the welcoming communities and the low cost of living. It has an outbound move rate of 56.5%. The Rustbelt state has seen pretty high unemployment rates and slow job growth. Residents also complain about the gray winters and unequal health care access. Over 6 out of 10 people here move out to look for jobs, while others want to retire elsewhere.
