Sort of surprised to see Florida on there. It always seems like it's a place that people are moving to either for the weather or low taxes. I'm guessing it has to do with tourism being shot this year and a lot of people there not being able to make a living? Possibly this is why Nevada is so high on the list too, via Las Vegas. Interesting to see NJ and CN having low numbers of people that want to move out. I'm guessing a lot of people that want to leave NYC but stay nearby will be moving into these locations. MA is sort of interesting though being so high on the list. Maybe folks want to move to NH or VT if they don't have to be in Boston? Oregon, Portland in particular - I mean what can you say about the place now? Illinois makes sense as Chicago has been on the decline for nearly 50 years now and they refuse to change anything about how they do things. Sad as it's a great city but just refuses to break their corrupt political machine.

I live in Florida and I'm surprised we aren't number 1 on the list. My wife and I have been talking about moving to another state in the future. Our state government's response to the Coronavirus has made it clear where priorities lie. Governor Ron Desantis (now affectionately called Ron DeathSentence) has shown himself to be a Trump lapdog, and the amount of Trump supporters in my county is disheartening. Low taxes are nice if you are retired, but along with low taxes comes little funding for schools, public infrastructure, a social safety net, etc.

In addition to a dearth of jobs in many areas, Florida can have deceptively higher costs due to insurance (for sinkholes, hurricanes, bad drivers) and needing to spend a lot on electricity for AC.

  That's a good point - always important to consider the total cot of living when comparing things.
