Where Are Americans Moving To? Best States to Move to in 2021

[Auto-Transcribed]

Which states are Americans moving into?

Recently, there was a report by The New York Times that talks about the numbers of New Yorkers moving out of New York and going to different states.

Before the pandemic, people moved to the larger metro cities. After the pandemic, many realized that living in a big city is a problem. It's a health and lifestyle issue many didn't want to deal with anymore.

It's becoming not just a trend. It became a must for some New Yorkers and Northerners.

Also, Americans are ditching big cities with high populations. They're going to states with less population where they can feel safe.

In cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco, people are leaving those cities and going to small towns or small cities in the South.

Let's explore the actual numbers that are happening today.

• Florida has seen 117,000 more people coming in than going out.
• Texas has seen 100,000 people more coming in than going out.
• Arizona has seen 95,000 people more coming in than going out.
• North Carolina has seen almost 79,000 people coming in than moving out.

In contrast, New York has seen 210,000 more people going out than coming in. California has seen more than 191,000 people are going out of California than moving into California. Illinois has seen 99,000 more people going out of Illinois than coming into Illinois. The State of New Jersey has seen more than 72,000 more people going out of New Jersey than coming into New Jersey.

In other words, Americans are ditching the Northeast and moving South, especially to Florida.

Tampa is the best city to be relocated to for many reasons. Not just the weather, but growth potential, job opportunities, schools, hospitals, beaches, and the overall lifestyle beats most of the cities in Florida.
