More people moved to Idaho than moved to 46 other states? Wanna bet?

The source of this information is United Van Lines. Do they keep track of moves from other sources besides their own?
Like when the Clampett's loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly,... Hills that is would United Van Lines known of this?

Strange, I moved from #7 to #7 last year.

The ranking is based upon the percentage of inbound vs outbound moves.

From United Van Lines :

"Oregon is the most popular moving destination of 2015 with 69 percent of moves to and from the state being inbound. The state has continued to climb the ranks, increasing inbound migration by 10 percent over the past six years. New to the 2015 top inbound list is another Pacific West state, Washington, which came in at No. 10 with 56 percent inbound moves.

The Southern states also saw a high number of people moving in with 53 percent of total moves being inbound. In a separate survey of its customers, United Van Lines found the top reasons for moving South included company transfer/new job, retirement and proximity to family.

The Northeast continues to experience a moving deficit with New Jersey (67 percent outbound) and New York (65 percent) making the list of top outbound states for the fourth consecutive year. Two other states in the region — Connecticut (63 percent) and Massachusetts (57 percent) — also joined the top outbound list this year. The exception to this trend is Vermont (62 percent inbound), which moved up two spots on the list of top inbound states to No. 3."

If you lived in the Northeast last winter, you would leave too!! Never ending snow storms made a lot of people up and leave this area, and I don't blame them.

I guess no one got the joke.

The 1st and 10th most popular states to move to recently legalized marijuana.

I guess that would explain why everything in my neighborhood is selling for more than the asking price
