Arkansas

Arkansas is a place known for its natural beauty, sports teams, and wild weather. It also happens to be the state that gave us both Walmart and Bill Clinton. Sadly, it has an outbound move rate of 49.7%. It does not have a lot of job opportunities. 71% of people who move out do so for work. It became the first state to require jobs for Medicaid recipients, so thousands lost their insurance last year.

While lit is a lovely place, it is not a state you want to retire in. With an outbound move rate of 50.6%, older Mainers are opting to retire somewhere else. “It gets cold during the winter. And windy and snowy,” Elsa K. posted on Quora. “I’m from northern Iceland and the winters in Maine aren’t as long or dark as in Iceland but they are colder and snowier.” That was not all: “There are bugs. Lots and lots of bugs, especially if you get away from the coast. Ticks, mosquitoes, flies and things that I don’t know the names of but want your blood.”
