Study: Americans Moved West, South in 2020
US News & World Report ^ | 1/4/21 | Elliott Davis

AMERICANS FLOCKED WEST and South in 2020, with Idaho experiencing the most inbound moves and New Jersey seeing the most outbound exoduses amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to an annual study by the moving company United Van Lines.

The company's 44th annual study of customers' migration patterns – which considered states where at least 250 families moved through United Van Lines – shows that, unsurprisingly, the COVID-19 outbreak played a role in people's moving decisions. More than 25% of people who moved did so to be closer to family – a significant increase compared to previous years, according to the company.

United's own article is at https://www.unitedvanlines.com/newsroom/movers-study-2020 . United has disabled the ability to copy and paste their articles.

Missing from the articles is any breakdown of states of origin of the movers. Iow where are those folks moving to IA from? Where did those NJ expats move to?

If we could get rid of dishonest voting in places like PA and MI, those places might be attractive. It appears both states are moving more red but Philly and Detroit make it hard to vote in senators and governors...

The level of corruption in the US right now is so bad, frankly there isn’t a State I can think of that is immune from it.

Moved West, South in 2020

In other words, they moved *away* from the North and East.

Great. A biblical plague of blue locusts.

A couple weeks ago our friend met a newcomer to TN from CA. He told the guy: “Welcome to Tennessee. Don’t bring your attitude or your politics.” But I think the CA guy will be OK; they met on the gun range.

Idaho will turn blue soon...there will only be a few two or three red states in ten years...I left Colorado in 2000 and now it is a mess...Californians invades in the 1990s and took over Denver Boulder area..

As if we didn’t have enough Caltards soiling the more free western states. Now we have these arrogant easterners coming out here.

Idaho is F’d now. Houses once selling for 35k 10 years ago are going for 300k sold in minutes to bay area progressives. The first loads of Somalis were dumped off with the progs cheering it on. And the curse of the liberal infestation is popping up with groups to put bike paths everywhere.

"Outbound exoduses"?

Has there ever been an inbound exodus?
