Nobody is moving to Minnesota, but hordes are going to Texas.
- nafizh 8y agoProbably, the cold has something to do with that.
- reaperducer 8y agoThis is true. I know at least a dozen former Minnesotans, and the number one reason they all cite for leaving is the weather.
- RickJWagner 8y agoYeah, that probably has to do with the population decline. But as for the rating, North Dakota is at #8, so I don't think cold weather is hurting that.
- exabrial 8y agoHave you even lived in Texas for a summer? Cold you just put coats on.
- tfehring 8y agoMinnesota's population has been pretty much flat, but the Twin Cities' population grew by ~7.4% between 2010 and 2017 [0]. That's much lower than Austin's 20%+ increase during that time frame and lower than Texas's ~12% overall increase, but definitely not "nobody." There are lots of Wisconsin transplants (myself included) thanks to Wisconsin's mediocre job market for white-collar jobs. And many of those transplants are engineers and/or work in fields like healthcare that have lots of opportunities for startups.
