Wisconsin
Even though it is a charming state, Wisconsinites have been packing up and moving out. It has an outbound move rate of 54%. This can be attributed to the soaring housing prices, which then offset the steady employment growth and low cost of living. Of course, let us not forget that winters here are brutal. Nearly every winter the state has ever seen has hit at least negative 30 degrees. We are not surprised to hear that over half of those who moved out in 2018 were folks 55 years old or older.

Louisiana
Louisiana is popular for its music culture, unique food scene, friendly people, and outdoor activities. However, lots of folks no longer want to live here. The 54.3% outbound move rate can be explained by the stagnant job growth and brutal taxes. The average combined sales tax is the second-highest in the nation at 9.46%, while employment outside of farm work went up by only 0.1% between 2018 and 2019. United Van Lines reported that the natural gas, methanol, and technology industries are getting bigger, but 70.8% of those who move out do so to pursue new jobs in other places.
