Where are people moving from?

If you’re wondering about the most popular moving destinations in the United States, then you’re also probably curious about which cities have the highest move-out rates.

Based on statistics, California is home to cities with the highest exodus of residents in the past recent years. The higher cost of living, the soaring housing market, state taxes, and even natural disasters all play a part in why more and more people are deciding to leave the state.

Along with California, New York State also experiences a loss of residents, mainly for the same reason of the costs of living here are becoming more difficult for people to afford.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Place to Move

Moving is a tough decision for many, and it’s even tougher for some to choose a place to move to. But for many homebuyers, here are some things to consider when choosing a place to move.

Climate

Are you looking for a place that gives you sunshine all year round or a place that offers all four seasons?

Cost of Living

How much are you willing to pay? It’s important to look not just at house prices, you must also consider the local tax, and the costs of living expenses, including groceries, utilities, and transportation.

Community

When planning for your move, one of the many things people think about is how to make new connections to the place they are moving to. See if the place you are moving to offers communities or groups that have to do with your interests.

Distance to Points of Interests

How far is the place to work, schools, entertainment, and public establishments you want to get near?

Crime Rates

No one wants to live in a high-crime area. And while crimes are everywhere, some places are simply safer than others. This means lower cases of theft and assaults.
