DC grows in direct proportion to the number of NEW government suckholes getting jobs...

Not California for outbound? Not Texas for inbound? Something not reliable about this data. At least I hope so. I don’t want these Yankees bringing their stupid socialism to my state...
LOL. Professor, you have overlooked what is obviously the key factor -- competent governance, sane fiscal policy, and low taxes. Either you are a complete dolt educated beyond your intelligence or you are a die-hard lefty who refuses to face simple, irrefutable facts. People and capital gravitate toward states and nations with good governance and low taxes. The outlier on the destination "states" is Washington DC where fedgov is adding 100 parasites per day to its payroll. Without fedgov and air conditioning, Washington DC is a miserable place to live and work. To call Washington DC a "growing economy" is an insult to all working Americans who believe in limited government.
Looks like blue states on the move-out...I suggest Hawaii for their new destination.
A year, 18 months, and I’m leaving this Mass. for NC or SC. Perhaps Fla (sister nd her family moving there in a few more moths). If my brother and family hadn’t been so ill, I never would have returned from Va.
The new taxes in CA need time to kick in.
I can say without qualification that I have never, in my remembered life, seen as many U-Hauls on the road as in the last two years.
I'm not sure where they are all going, but there are a lot of people going somewhere with all their wordly goods packed up.
This data is really only for families. How many young, single folks use a moving truck when they change locations.
I thought the US database from driver license changes would be a better source -

Of course those who use a moving truck are probably also taxpayers as opposed to tax consumers...
I would have bet $10 that Texas was in the “inbound states” column; glad I didn’t. Still surprises me. Yet, I know several couples moving from PA, to NH, despite the liberal hellhole it’s become.
Illegals moving in to fill the voids.
That is a great data source, but too bad it is only for Washington state. It would be nice to have the same data for all 57 states.
U-Haul publishes its own index of in- and out-migration. It would be interesting to see the three sources blended as they cover different cohorts. Moving vans are probably used most often by professional people whose move is paid for by their company. U-Haul trailers and trucks are probably used more by younger people without a house full of furniture who are moving without the benefit of a company paying for the move or maybe by lower-income people and families. Driver Licenses no doubt overlap with both.
BTW, I use the Tableau Software at work to perform analyses (same tool used on the web page you provided). It is an outstanding analytical tool.
DC being the #1 inbound destination — and has been so throughout the obamite reign — is incredibly unhealthy . . . in fact, it may be fatal.
Must be part of a grand plan by the Mule Party to infiltrate and take-over Red States through stealth migration, thereby developing a permanent electoral majority.
RE: Must be part of a grand plan by the Mule Party to infiltrate and take-over Red States through stealth migration, thereby developing a permanent electoral majority.
Considering that 3 of the 5 TOP inbound states are BLUE STATES (DC, Oregon, Nevada ), I fail to see that grand plan.

The United Van Lines users are more likely to be wealthier than the general population as well as taxpayers, so this result is important. The upper Midwestern states need to reduce state income taxes to stem the tide of out-migration. States in the NE and IL are TF squared; they are in the death spiral.
Don’t you suppose the Oregon and Nevada reflect in-bounds from neighboring CA?
