Americans are on the move to freer pastures

Last year, nearly 5.5 million Americans moved from one state to another. The need to escape overly burdensome governments may be at least part of the reason why.

North American Moving Services recently released a report detailing state-to-state moves during 2017. Using Census data, the moving company clearly showed which states experienced net outflows of residents last year and which states experienced net inflows. The top ten inbound states were Arizona, Idaho, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Oregon, Georgia, Colorado, and Texas.
