HELLO ARIZONA, IDAHO, VERMONT! AMERICANS ON THE MOVE, 2013-2017.

northAmerican Moving, formerly North American Van Lines, is among the largest relocation and van line logistics firms in the USA. So northAmerican Moving compiles quite a bit of data when they sell moving services to Americans.

Recently, northAmerican Moving published their 2017 US Migration Report. From this report and previous data sets, I compiled a time series of migration sales made by northAmerican Moving.

Surprisingly, based on a five-year average taken from 2013 to 2017, the winning state to where northAmerican Moving has moved Americans is Vermont. Not surprisingly, the state from which Americans flee is Illinois.









So why Vermont? Well, Vermont is a magnet for those fleeing from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York but who desire to stay in that region. With the exception of Vermont, the old Dominion of New England bleeds Americans.

As can be seen from the map and the corresponding table, Americans flee the higher tax states of New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Minnesota, Maryland and California. As well, Americans flee seemingly low opportunity states of West Virginina, North Dakota, Michigan, Oklahoma and Ohio. That bleeding affects state economies and legislatures.


With the exception of Alabama, the old Confederate Southeast continues to be a lure for those from the Northeast and the Great Lakes. The notable draws are the Carolinas and Florida. In spite of the hype about Texas and though a solid draw, Texas draws only about as well as Georgia.

Not surprisingly, no state west of the Rockies has been losing Americans with the exception of high-tax state California with its flood of illegal aliens and immigrants and shockingly high prices of houses anywhere civilization exists in California — San Diego county, Ventura county, the Beach Cities of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Silicon Valley and so on.

Truly surprising is the influx of Americans into Idaho. From my early investigation, the influx into Idaho appears to come from authentic Americans fleeing California, Washington. Unbeknownst to most Americans, Idaho has sunshine two-thirds of its days and is nearly as dry as Southern California.

Moving Average Moving Trends


You can see in this next table, the migration trends according to moving averages going to back to 2011.




Abandonment in states like California and Illinois is both heavy and speeding up while in states like Connecticut and New Jersey, abandonment is consistently heavy.

The hot desert sun of Arizona is a magnet and the pace of those headed there continues to increase. In-bound states with heavy migrations are Idaho, North Carolina and South Carolina.


GETTING SALTY


So how is it that population continues to grow in states like California and New York, states where sane Americans flee? Population growth in these bastions of social democracy of the Democratic Party comes from immigrants, illegal aliens and their offspring.

It should be clear why Democrats howled over the recent tax bill signed into law by President Trump, which curbed deduction of state and local taxes (SALT). Democrats rely upon Americans in other states to subsidize their massive state spending on welfare recipients. Immigrants and illegals comprise the lion's share of those recipients.

According the Money Division of CNN #FakeNews, residents of high-income and high-tax states benefit most from SALT. Together, Californians and New Yorkers get about one-third of all SALT tax breaks. More than half goes to Californians, New Yorkers, New Jerseyians, Illinoisans, Texans, and Pennsylvanians.

Most simply are unaware that Americans living elsewhere subsidize the federal tax bill of Californians, New Yorkers and the like. By doing so, Americans enable the social democrats in Blue States to perpetuate despotic-like regimes where a class of aristocrats live well while a mass of unwashed immigrants and illegal aliens live at free-to-them welfare poverty while the Democratic Party operatives shakedown the productive.

For more on this, see my works:




Overtime, expect states like Oregon and Washington to turn red in spite of the crazy socialists occupying cities like Portland and Seattle. Also expect Minnesota to turn red by the next presidential election.

Alas, New Yorkers of upstate never will free themselves of their social democrat overlords in New York City, Albany, Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse. If only upstate New Yorkers could free themselves of New York City, the lesser cities would feel the pressure to turn toward the Republicans, commerce and freedom.
