400k people in a year is hemorrhaging?
- floren 3y agoFor a state of ~40 million, that's 1% of the population. If they all moved to Wyoming, they'd almost double the state population.
- SubiculumCode 3y agoThat's how many people are leaving. How many people are coming in?
- floren 3y ago> However, the exodus from the state worsened, with a net of 407,000 residents leaving for other states between July 2021 and July 2022, according to the study. When you subtract the number coming in from the number leaving, you get a net of 400k leaving.

- LetMePostMore 3y agoI suspect they are only counting people above-board coming and going, but I think there is good reason to assume the "undocumented" population is increasing(the known undocumented population is ~6%), so the net may be closer to zero than 400k.
- LinuxBender 3y agoThere's plenty of land here in Wyoming. Houses, not so much. Finding someone to build a house or to do any work on anything is not easy. For that reason I don't think 400k could move here if they wanted to, at least not all at once. Some may not like the snow, cold weather half of the year and the wind east of the Rockies. Some of the people from the mountainous region of northern California may like it. Anyone moving here should be self sufficient and able to fix most things themselves. Some of this can be offset by getting to know all your neighbors and local community. As a side note Netflix to my surprise released a decent albeit violent movie that shows some of this state called Wind River staring Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Jon Bernthal. (2017) Most of the mountain scenes were filmed in Utah.
