The 10 States EVERYONE is LEAVING

- Why is everyone leaving these states?
Every 5 years, Americans move to another home. It’s not always a dramatic move - say going from California to Colorado. Often, it’s close by - across town or to another part of the state.
Every 5 years might sound like a lot, but that’s actually lower than it used to be. As a population, we’re getting older, and older people can’t move as easy as younger people can. Nowadays, mom AND dad both have jobs, which makes mobility a tougher pill to swallow. And, data shows that we don’t job hop as often as we used to.
Which states are seeing the biggest population decline over time? Actually, there are exactly ten of them. The rest of the states have seen either slight increases or BIG gains in people. We’ll talk about where people are moving, and why everyone’s leaving and all of the other fun stuff in this video.
So, grab your packing tape and don’t forget the goldfish. We’re going to explore America’s fastest shrinking states.
Kansas, New York, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Illinois, Connecticut, Louisiana, Alaska, Wyoming.
The best video on this topic!
I live in Rhode Island and we Rhode Islanders leave the state every day just to go to the store .
🤗
HAHAHA XD
I live in new mexico and it sucks
Alex Montoya you’re funny.
@@alexmontoya1953 how come?
As a fellow upstate New Yorker we don’t leave because it’s cold. We leave because we’re tired of all our politics being dictated and controlled by New York City
Nevermind a old hag carpetbagger by way of Arkansas became Senator for you guys, then Secretary of State. The shame she put on New York.
@@billyhndrsn4542 If you are talking about Hillary, wasn't she born in Chicago? But don't worry, as a Arkansas Resident, I do not approve of Hillary, assuming its her you are mentioning
You diffenitly got the right idea
@@RSTBKT I am aware that Foundation Mafia princess was born in Illinois, but got rid of her as soon as they could. Sorry about the Arkansas reference, it is where the Clinton Mafia death toll began, beautiful state and nice people, finally y'all rid yourselves of them. Remember always, it takes a big village to get rid of the Clintons.
@@billyhndrsn4542 indeed it does
I left Chicago over 7 years ago. Happier then ever about it.
Smart move, body count seems to be going up daily
@@steverobinson5677 certain places in Chicago are very safe. The violence and crime is heavily concentrated in certain areas. But I definitely left for safety and aspirations of something better.
Very good choice.
I left Illinois a decade ago. Best decision ever
I left Massachusetts 5 years ago. I seem to have more money in my pocket
@@ozziecrosby2092 Still living in Massachusetts and essex county is getting ridiculous. I really don't want to move to western massachusetts since it's so far from Worcester, Lowell, and Boston. However, if push comes to shove with this ridiculous rent in the coast, I'll move to the south for good!
@@jeremycontreras6229 .... I'm actually thinking about moving back to Massachusetts for a short period of time to start with a company that I will be able to transfer to Tennessee in about 2 years. But I'm going to try and get a place in Southern New Hampshire so I don't have to have a Massachusetts address
Illinois is a great state ruined by corrupt and leftist politics and a huge MORASS of a city (even though it’s not the capital) that dwarfs the rest of the state when it comes to population and the economy.
Same thing with the state of New York.

"The Most Shameful Injustice".
It's a CZcams video by Bill Whittle.
Democrats corrupt everything they touch.
As a professional mover in Illinois, 7 out of every 10 moves are leaving the state.
Dang
I left IL 5 years ago. Now im leaving MS lol. Job hopping
My dad moved us out of IL in the 80's. Best thing he ever did. We had a better life after that. Better schools, better community, and better opportunities.
Dems ruined that state. I would say let them suffer with their choices of congress they voted in, but a ruined state is still bad for the rest of the country as a whole.
Well yeah, that state is ran by idiots.
I left Illinois in 2009 and it's the best decision ever. Infact, I may have added 20 more years on to my life by getting out of that stressful, corrupt, high tax, freezing winters, terrible roads, crime ridden, negative minded, state
Where did you move to?
Sounds like texas
Josh Terrice Yeah Texas is getting bad because everyone from the West and MidWest are moving here. Traffic has gotten crazy the past 4 years.
TheCatGodLover! It kinda is. The taxes here are so high that it’s ridiculous.
Fake news.
"Going from California to Colorado"
Yeah... Too many people did that and ruined my native Colorado. I had to leave.
I've heard that a ton from Colorado. Californians sell homes, come to Denver and other formerly great cities- and bring their failed ideals and mindset and angrily insist on them.
I want to move to Colorado from Kansas 🥺
Way too touristy now that Colorado has allowed casinos everywhere
Real estate agents first question: Where are you from? They hear Cali and they jack up the price of the houses they will show them by 40%! The locals then get priced out of their own town!
Yes, such a beautiful state. I use to call it God's country. I left in 2006. It's been Kalifornicated a long time.
I left Florida last year and I'll NEVER look back!! I lived on the beach too! Now I'm on a farm away from city life and I've never been happier!!
i lived on a farm for three years in indiana :)
@Fred Fischer Good for you! I feel GREAT 😊 You will too!
Is Florida bad?
I cannot wait to leave Sarasota Fl. The heat and humidity are killing me.
Florida is great just for the winter
Wherever you’re fleeing, Just be sure to leave that state’s failed politics there....

@@PuhChewEChomp Good paying jobs and good education is what gives you real freedom in life.
@@PuhChewEChomp I live in Texas and can't buy beer on Sunday mornings when I like to do my grocery shopping so I have to wait until noon, really annoying when my team kicks off at noon. I also plan to consume marijuana when I retire and can't do that here either. I'd like to live in Colorado, not aware of what laws they have there that'll infringe on my rights but maybe there are some. Its part of living in a society with shared space, might be some rules you don't like.
@@PuhChewEChomp Yeah I understand I am a supporter of castle laws as well as responsible gun ownership (don't own a gun myself), Iuckily Colorado and Washington both have those protections as well. Oddly enough as of 2016 Idaho had one of the weakest castle law protections. Not sure if thats changed.
You're from Florida arent you? Haha
I paid 10 bucks for a freakin gallon of Milk when I was in Hawaii. That alone is outrageous.
I met a guy who owns a grocery chain in Hawaii. He told me they have one ship load at the dock being unloaded, one in the water and one being loaded in California. It's a constant rotation. I can imagine how tough it is to get a milk order right to help control the shrink without running out of milk.
$100 to the man who can tell me where milk comes from, and how much arable land there is in Hawaii....
At a resort in Hawaii, I paid $9 for a small cup of milk! Yes it is insane!
Humans shouldn't drink the milk of another animal... It's a sign
cost to import. almost sounds like a bargain at only $10 when you think about the time/manpower/fuel/ship repair
Try leaving the country. My family and I are still USA citizens - however - we chose to move to Baja Sur, MX, by the Sea of Cortez Roads aren’t great, but the beaches, water and fishing are pristine. Taxes? We have a beautiful home (casa) paid for and taxes - well try less that $100 USD. Water bill - with large pool - $50 USD a month - electricity (we use solar) but try $40 USD every 2 months People? Friendly The place is safe unless you like doing drugs; this is not the mainland. Easy travel? San Jose Cabo San Lucas airport is an international hub city. Direct flights to Atlanta, LA, San Jose CA, San Diego, Houston, Dallas, Nashville - the list go on. We have been here 13 GREAT years. So - think outside the box - live far less expensive with a higher quality of life, put a little adventure in your life - try Baja Sur, MX.
Orales
@R. S. -- Right now we have been in Baja Sur for over 13 years full time. We are residents, not citizens. That is fine. The point is that people have the an incredible wrong idea of MX and retirement. People can afford to retire in MX allot easier than the USA. Incredible. Actually my family (3) have 100% health insurance for $1,200 per year; this includes prescription drugs. Each person has to make their own choices, however, be informed.
@@flash521 sounds incredible!!! But I always remember the old saying about if something sounds too good to be true!!

@@janieskelton-christian7652 - Janie thank you for your reply. Yes, I do remember that adage. Let me challenge you to simply say find out for yourself. People overly on what people say without checking it out. So many missed opportunities and positive life adventures. Nevertheless, you need to figure out what do you want to do? If you have a calling or purpose in your life, where will that lead you, or can lead you? Not only does a dollar go allot farther in Baja Sur Mexico, the beaches are longer and pristine, the people are humble and friendly and the weather is without snow, but certainly has a hurricane every few years. And really - if you are prepared - hurricanes are short-lived pauses in a great life. Best regards, good fortune and God bless.
Leaving mostly Democrat States what a surprise NOT. Dont vote for the same crap that made you leave in the first place
But it will be different this time...LOL
We in Florida tell new arrivals don't NY us!
I love this "Democrat States".... WTF does that mean?..... way to live in the meme and tweet world of SUPER-SIMPLIFICATION
well to be fai if every wing nut from all the other states and illegals flooding across the boarder didnt screw up the state so bad it might still be red today and alot of us wouldnt have to escape
8 Democrats state 2 republicans state
As a Chicago native, I am leaving. The state of Illinois, the city of Chicago and Cook county are taxing us to death.
And killing it citizens daily.
Which state are you moving to?
Want to be taxed to death and Fd over by incompetent politicians daily come to Comifornia. 😳
Not to mention the murder rates, corruption, fake hate crimes, and the corruption, also the corruption.
Just dont vote Demorat.
Between the weather and cost of living, Chicago IL, has priced me out. I moved to Las Vegas NV, last year, best decision of my life.

Luckily, my utilities are included in my rent.

How cheap and what's a good way to start a idea to move to vegas cause I thought of the same thing
Everyone moves and then magically the states they move to eventually become incredibly overpriced, and probably will end up with the same problems they wanted to get away from.
Correct! Since many people are moving to CO, our taxes etc have gone up a lot....
SO STOP VOTING D.

Just don't relocate yourself and continue voting for the same policies that ruined where you came from.

They dont care.

I agree with what you’re saying but that horse has left the stable probably three decades ago we have Sheeple now they just go for the BS hook line and sinker trust me as a trucker I watch the news I listen to the news in various states they’re saying the same garbage or they’re looking to the other state and seeing how they’re screwing the residence and they just wait and put a variation or their spin on it so you’re right stay where you’re at I agree

Smart move, literally. Enjoy the south, the food is incredible and the people are welcoming. Humidity sucks though,lol
Trying as fast as we can to build our home in Idaho and move from Spokane where are son and daughter In law and grandkids are. At least for now we have a great mayor, our people are still conservative, and we value our police force, but for how long I dont know? Thankfully Seattle is a little over 5 hrs from us and pray they leave their crazyness on the otherside of the Cascades with their King Inslee. In the meantime we keep building and getting things done so we can be outta WA.
That should be nice if you are a Trumper, and stop thinking for yourself...that is what being in a cult demands.
I honestly expected California to be on the list.
The reason its not on the list is because it gets a lot of international people coming for the jobs, even with the large amounts of people there leaving.
In Cali illegals coming in so fast it doesn't show any loss.
same
Same here
Fun fact: California has never had a population decline in its state history
It made my heart grow when you said bye Illinois.
i hate how FL is the fastest growing state...everyone moves to the same few cities and it’s getting overcrowded as hell
We should bar of people moving in for a while
How selfish
Abdalla Siddig 😂
@@abdallasiddig2374 Place is way to overcrowded. Plus once you start living in Florida you won't really like it anymore unless you live in rural areas.
Griffen Kogarashi Finally someone from my state who understands how fast people are coming here. I mean I watched Tampa go from being very small in 1968 to being like almost Dallas, Texas now. I only drive if I have to because the people in Tampa just can't drive. Also. Florida's Heat and Hurricanes are awful. If you did not grow up in Florida, It will not be easy for you to get use to our Heat & Hurricanes. I don't mind anymore because the way things are going, Every state will be destroyed by the Globalists. Just give them time, You'll see!
Being an underwriter I can confirm huge amounts of Cali people leaving. Many headed to Texas... Poor Texas
Can I call you Jimmy? I was born and raised in Southern CA. I left in 1995 and came back, then 2013 (to Texas), came back (for work), and to Utah in 2018, but came back again for a job that I wanted. I can't wait to leave again to maybe Arizona, Idaho or Utah.
James Hendrix, believe me those coercive utopians from California moved to my state of Washington and guess what? They made a big liberal mess. So,cross Washington out of the list to move. It California number 2.
Yea as a texas native could yall not
That is old news dear. Hell we've known that for over 7 years
@Tony Brophy cali is run by Soros Democrats
I'm amazed New Jersey wasn't on the list. Seems like a state people would want to leave.
Yes! I was raised her and l hate it! High taxes, corrupt politicians, poor schools, gang violence. I’m headed to South Carolina in 6 months!
A lot of people leave, but a lot of New Yorkers move there and balance it out
should be # 1....jersey sux big time can't wait to leave
Cuz jersey lit it's not but it is but the rule of Jersey is ONCE U LEAVE U DONT GO BACK
Yes, I married someone from NJ and we’re moving out soon. If you’re paying 10K in taxes to live on a small plot of land, you have to re-examine your priorities.
Glad to hear everyone's leaving West Virginia I just bought property there
Did you get a good deal on it?
It's a beautiful state.
Yeah gonna buy property there
I love living in WV. It's really beautiful.
People are leaving West Virginia because those coal jobs aren't coming back like the great Trump had promised his suckers, what a shame, what a shame... Joe Manchin still says no to the $15 minimum wage cuz he knows coal miners are living such a great life in West Virginia.
I’m leaving California for West Virginia. Wyoming would have been my second choice. The fact they have fewer people is a key factor.
I did the reverse , headed to the beaches of NC
Get ready for the culture shock of your life
I'm tired of rural blockheads who follow the Trumpist cult leader. It's like Stupidity 101.
Just don't bring the political bullshit with you.
I’d love to get away from our oily governor.
I left Calif. after retiring in 2003 , I live in Arizona now and don't regret leaving the land of fruit and nuts at all!

@@reneehenderson4818 every state sucks.
Tom Boyte I left California in the early 90’s. I had a lot of fun living there and really enjoyed California life. Having said that, there’s no chance I would move back.
As a Wyoming resident, yes, we are losing folks-already the least populated state-but we aren’t too torn up about it. That being said, we have a lot of homes being built, or plans are in the works for more homes in the Cheyenne area. If you move to Wyoming to escape your states’ problems, PLEASE leave said problems in the states you left.
You know exactly what happens with free movement.
Left Illinois in 2001,ne er looked back, no jobs and no money. Greedy politicians...
D.
Almost all the states people are leaving have a problem with public corruption. Kansas, Louisiana and Illinois among the worst.
@Delmar Fore That is definitely true. Louisiana is pretty consistently the worst in all of America. Some times it drops but it always goes back up. Not a coincidence the state is perpetually poor and has a bad economy.
That is every state...unless you're ignorant.
All are democratic states.
@@htx713cc8 It's almost impressive that in today's day and age someone could still be naive enough to think corruption is partisan. It's like still believing in santa after seeing your mom stuffing presents under the tree. My own state of AZ (Republican) is horrible. We're almost always # 48 on best run states lists, right behind CA at 49. There is however one thing partisan that remains pretty consistent. Democratic states do a better job of both policing and preventing public corruption. We're talking degrees here though not good and bad. On top of that it's been republican aligned groups taking cases to court to weaken the countries public corruption laws. Again though it's not like Democrats put up much of a fight to stop it or more likely, agreed not to fight the efforts in private.

We left Illinois because of the corruption, high taxes,cost of living. We my wife and me have never looked back after leaving. Our taxes on our house there was 7000 dollars a year on a quarter acre. Down here in Kentucky we have 25 acres and pay 1700 dollars a year. .corruption.

How about NJ, with their 10K taxes per year for your home! I don't know how people still can live there. I moved out in 1997 and moved to Florida. I purchased a home 6 years ago and my taxes are a bit more than $800 per year as opposed to 10K for a home in NJ! CORRUPTION at It's Finest!
Wait what?! I guess I'll be lookin for some properties in Kentucky. :)
Tired of strict gun laws. Thats a big one people over look
Strict gun laws are just the tip of the iceberg. Wherever a state disrespects your right to bear arms, you can bet they're also infringing on a thousand other little things as well. They're genuinely the type of people to tell you you can't cut down that tree in your front yard because the homeless depend on it for shade.
I really don’t think a family would leave their job(s), friends etc for less stricter gun laws. It may be a plus when they move but not an actual reason to move.
@@flickertheflame If my state made more gun laws I'd move in a heartbeat, I'd not want to but my guns mean more to me than almost anything else.

As a Utahn, I can confirm that EVERYONE is moving here, Its incredible to see how much the infrastructure has changed in the past 10 years...
I think people are moving to Utah...but I think it's mainly because of the state having the highest birthrates and average family size that's playing the big key factor.
33:777 SLC Utah. High intercity rent from massive Empowerment zone appartement complexes. Nothing to do here except EXHIST. Dont come here. I want to go to Cumberland gap area. Smokies
And how much the housing prices are going up up up.
I hope you think it's incredible when a one bedroom apartment costs 4500 a month, there is an abortion clinic on every corner and homeless people pissing and masterbating on the streets. Utah will become paradise like california.
I have lived in Utah for 28 years and I am ready to move out! Back to the Midwest. Too many people moving in from California, Oregon, and Washington. Prices have skyrocketed. Has nothing to do with the family sizes/birthrates.
Northern Idaho (Priest Lake) and the entire state of Utah are the most beautiful states I’ve ever been to. I can see why they are the 2 states with the most growth.
It's funny because I live by utah and idaho. And most people actually want to leave. Probably because we don't have bad drugs,gangs, and corruption lol! But I love it here personally for the outdoors.
I've lived in Utah all my life and based on all the political nonsense I've seen the past few months, I'm never leaving. Utah has its head on straight for the most part.
@@GO-cz7cl people want to leave Utah because of the mormans. Trust me. I lived there my first 12 years. And my dad lived there for 20 years before moving. And the mormans and their laws are our biggest complaint. But we moved because my dad got a new job in Arizona.
Tony's Pizzeria And what laws may that be. And from what I've read, mormons pretty much founded Utah back in the early pioneer age. If you hated living there so much, why did you stay for 20 years?

Left Seattle 20 years ago for Idaho best decision I ever made.
I live just outside of Charleston, SC and in the past 10 years we have exploded in growth and population, from people moving here from all over the country mainly cold and high tax states. Now thanks to everyone moving here (and I dont blame them exactly our economy is booming we have lots of jobs, but the state and counties are not controlling it) it has made traffic an absolute nightmare (they solve the issues with new roads, exits and round abouts and then build more homes and back to square one again) , the trees are torn down by hundreds of acres to make housing for all these people moving here and its ruining what we had. To make it all worse these people then move here and want to then turn our state into what they fled from by creating higher taxes to have what they had there and electing the same types of politicians with the same agendas the same mentality that created the mess they left. Its madness.
Communists?
er, Charlotte has always been Liberal. It is a huge banking center with a young transient population. Traffic was "an absolute nightmare" years ago.
You are projecting. What is ruining the state is the incessant warfare between the two political parties. The Conservatives are losing ground and have been using dirty tactics to stay in control.
I’m in Goose Creek and we are thinking of moving to some place less populated. Mount Pleasant absolutely blew up. It’s crazy.

Old habits die hard. People can leave problematic states but they never can leave the problems they have inside of them. People need to develope their minds and broaden them or otherwise they keep doing the same mistakes.

I lived in Florida for 7 years it's the most prejudice racial state. And it's not just white people it's black people in Spanish people there all prejudiced. And it's not just white people it's black people in Spanish people there all prejudiced And then on top of it there pay rate socks
I love to hear your humorous narrations in your videos...and really appreciate the info you share, Thanks so much!❤
Hey rose ❤️
Sorry, but Idaho does not have "an exceptional cost of living," as the wages do not come close to meeting it.
Depends on what you do. If you work at Wal-Mart or Fred Meyer then no, it does not meet it. If you work in the skilled trades and put in some time, you can pretty much make $30 an hour.
Exactly! People from Cali can buy a house cash 8n Boise but they’d better have some bucks in the bank. Not everyone can work at Saint Als or StLuke’s.
The cost of living in Idaho did not used to be all that unreasonable compared to the Idaho wages until so many wealthy-to-idahoans, out-of-staters moved in over the past 20 years and inflated real estate costs way beyond what Idaho wages can afford.
My brother lived in Denver Colorado for 12yrs and then Boise Idaho for 18 yrs. Definitely more expensive over the years. Moved back to the Midwest.
I live in Alaska. Besides the earthquakes, volcanoes, below zero temperatures, 100MPH windstorms, blizzards, extreme cold, high cost of living, and mosquitoes, it's a wonderful place to live!
Still better than living in a democrapic ran state, lol
They pay people to live in Alaska

I was born in West Virginia. On the day I turned 18, at 7:00 in the morning, I left West Virginia. It's a beautiful state & has the most wonderful people but even 50 years ago there weren't many opportunities. I wish someone would bring jobs in that didn't cut off the beautiful mountain tops.
Come to Northern KY. The best kept secret in the USA
YES! West Virginia is so beautiful and her people deserve better.
You're right about the beauty and the industry that's ruined it.
@@tammiewade8331 Kentucky is beautiful! All those horses😍
Great video I've seen a couple of your other ones
Thanks for the information.
I thought California would be on this list. I keep on hearing stories of how Californians are moving to places like Texas and Arizona because of high cost of living
Isa Alatovic The birth rate and people moving from abroad is keeping the total population from declining.
There is a net movement of people moving out. It's almost 200k a year. Most of the people who are moving out simply can't afford to live in California. Or at least they aren't spinning their wheels so much. Many of the people who are moving in have higher incomes. I can believe that. I live in the SF Bay Area and the middle class here is now made up mainly by the higher income level of the middle class. Surprisingly a significant percentage of people moving to California are from Texas.
A lot of californians are moving to idaho too. But cali's so damn big & the overall population is so large, that it would take at least almost 10-20 years for them to see a big population decline.
Lots coming in lots leaving too
@ I can only imagine the effects with another 20 million. People are complaining about traffic and housing prices already. Are we going to end up with an underclass of people like something out of Blade Runner.
I grew up in New Jersey. I'm surprised NJ wasn't on this list. Taxes are so high, some people can't even afford to move out.
True, my uncle and his family lived in NJ. About 8 years ago they were driving down to Miami for Christmas and made a pit stop to visit me in SC on their way down. They had on winter gear and here I was still wearing a long sleeve T-shirt, lol. They asked me how much I paid in property taxes which was like 3x less than they were paying. By the time they got back to NJ, they decided to move here, sold their house and had a house built in a new subdivision at the time near me for less than $200k and bigger than they had in NJ. They were down here within the year and never looked back. Up until then, I had no family in the state. 😊
NJ is bleeding people with money but it's sanctuary status has helped keep it's population at an 'even' level cuz we have lots of poor people moving in now. I think the average person moving to NJ makes at least 50k less than the average person moving out does. This state is finished. It's about to be a welfare state.
@@dianad3080 I grew up in NJ when My parents retired around 2010, they moved down to FL. Very similar to your tale except they came down to FL to visit my mom's brother. When they got back home, within 3 - 6 months my dad retired, they sold the house packed up and moved without hesitation!
@@mstyles2667 About to be? HAHA, it was worse than that 10-15 years ago! I left there and never looked back!
People say the taxes are high in NJ and they are, they just raised the tolls on all the toll roads again and they raised the tax on tobacco again, cigarettes are at about 10 bucks a pack now, two things I'm affected by, because I use tobacco and I drive a descent amount, however in comparison to places like New York and Philadelphia, the tax rate is way down and the one thing people forget are that incomes in this state are a lot higher than many other states, New Jersey has always been known as the powerhouse of the US economy, Bush 1 said it when he visited, its true, whatever happens in NJ will usually be the trend for the rest of the country. Not sure how cheap gas is at the moment with covid 19 going on in other states, but at the moment I'm paying $1.51 a gallon, about $20 bucks to fill my tank and my job isn't effected by covid 19. Like he said, a lot of people are escaping nearby states for NJ. Many live in NJ and commute to work in NY or PA and keep a much larger piece of their paycheck. For those reasons, New Jersey did not make the list and even though it didn't, its a known fact, lots of people are leaving this state fast, just not at the pace large enough to make that list.
New Jersey is also the only state thst still has 100% full service gas stations. That provides a descent part time job while in school and on the Turnpike, its providing people with little education a descent paying job with benefits, just to pump gas, something people do themselves in almost every other state.
My wife and I are planning to leave California, mainly for it being way too expensive, but also because of politics. And we won't be going anywhere liberal. I hope the Texans welcome a couple hardworking conservatives.
Well I think most Texan Conservatives concern of California movers is that they will bring that Democrat infection with them.
Basically the thought process is welp they burnt down their old state now they are moving here and voting in the same people who ruined their old state in the first place.
I feel most will be ok just as long as people don't bring their crazy liberal policies with them.
So glad I moved from FL to MD ❤
A much needed change 👍
Yes we do have to pay income tax here in Florida. Everyone in the USA does. What we don't have is an additional STATE income tax!
NH has no income tax and no sales tax.
Doing a little searching on the internet indicates the states with no income tax are:
Alaska
Florida
Nevada
South Dakota
Texas
Washington
Wyoming
And by 2021: Tennessee
Are you a resident or is your research in error?
Booboobear2388 - life time residence, and no income tax however if you are an LLC or Corp there is business profits tax, but not high.
A quick google search shows "New Hampshire has no income tax on wages and salaries. However, there is a 5% tax on interest and dividends. The state also has no sales tax. Homeowners in New Hampshire pay the third-highest average effective property tax rate in the country." So congrats on dodging the income tax bullet only to dodge into one of the highest property taxes. So basically the state is luring people in with the no income tax bait and switch by upping the property taxes to get back lost revenue on the income tax.
@@Booboobear-eo4es Tennessee does not have state income tax. My oldest sister has lived there for over 30 years and they do not have a state income tax.
I'm trying to escape California
A Big Eath Quake comeing its why i want to move to
I escaped California nearly four years ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I escaped Calidamnfornia five years ago. Love my new State, and don't want to see it changed a bit. I'm conservative, not liberal.
@Paul Muggins Garden of greenbacks. Where a lot of them leave your possession.
I live in San Diego and I will never leave my beautiful town. But I get it. If you want to live here, better make at least 4 times as much as everyone else in the US. Quarter mill per year might keep you above poverty here.
Thanks for sharing ☺️
Ok ken
Well done....enjoyed that and subscribed 😀
Yay!
The cost of living here in Washington are going up a lot. Property taxes and minimum wages increases are so high. Small businesses are getting pushed out.
I wasn't to surprised that NY was on the list... seeing as I'm 13 and can tell that its trash here. Like seriously I wanna leave.
Actually, my mom is canadian, I could probably just move north. Sadly the " free" health care is actually taken out of their paychecks so eh..
Talk to your family about moving...maybe they are ready for a change too. Sometimes kids are good motivation if you have good reasons
@@lordofspaghetti5454 Don't move to Canada, it's even worse in my opinion.
I’m from Hawaii
We scrape and pay $3600 a month for a family of 4 during a pandemic
Facts
The first city scene you showed for Kansas was actually Kansas City, Missouri.
The south used to be cheap not no more everyone's moving here has made the rent cast of living out of control
Well said?
Uhhhhhhhhh....I don't think so...
And some punctuation would help.
Plus, "not no more" ? You don't have
to tell anyone you're from the South....
Just now noticed...not even a fucking
period at the end of your rant.
I agree. Everything in Texas is increasing, and the people that are from there, like me have to suffer.
Damn skippy. I'll probably be the only native southerner to retire up north, lol. I'm about done with this wretched humidity and heat anyway.
@Ressie Shaw A wasted mind is a terrible thing. Please stay in school.
Moved from Chicago to San Diego in July 4th 1989 after graduating from college. Smartest decision I ever made. Love it! Best weather, great food, lots to do and quality of life is great.
Surf Waves love San Diego!
@Old Man hendo Not true in San Diego property taxes are cheaper, sales tax cheaper, food is a better quality and selection and cheaper, housing is more expensive but the quality of life is AWESOME!!! BEACHES, GOLF, SURFING, FISHING, CAMPING, SKIING, NIGHTLIFE AND BEAUTIFUL BABES***
Surf Waves and you moved at a time where you probably could afford a home.
Nick, you had me when you were singing "on the road again" Great sense of humor. Enjoyed this very accurate video. Here in California... Yikes!.
Just subscribed. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Ernest
By the way, l as well as my family, really got immersed in your uploaded video production
series on the states. Really, really entertaining and well done. Informative, short and sweet, concise highlights (the little cartoon characters are just plain cool and fun). All being said...
Looking forward to more.
Great work Nick! And your more than welcome.
great video
Living in Cali made me a conservative. That's literally the only good thing about it.
Where did you go ?
Nothing conservative about a Republican, and we thank you here in California for leaving...
Don’t leave till u vote for Republican, Trump to save US & CA
@freEvo8 Yes, Republicans are so conservative they elected a reality star pu$$! grabbing adulterer like Trump, they are so conservative our deficit has shot up and debt piled up, even before the pandemic, they are so conservative they condone and support separating families at the border... nothing conservative about that bud. You are just a Trumpservative who would love to live under Christian Sharia.
Rafa Rodriguez separating law breaking illegal aliens.... no problem with that. Come legally or stay home. Your problem with that?
Why am I leaving the Peoples Republic of Illinois? Taxes, oppressive government rules, taxes, high costs, taxes.
tim johnson 🤦🏼♂️. You actually think Illinois is better than Texas? Wake up!
just please remember that voting for liberal bs is going to create those exact same problems wherever you run away to
5T3LTH Correct!!!
Putting on the foil 🤣 my bad.
Corruption
Hawaii is no mystery as it has a constant exodus due to the high cost of living and overcrowding(traffic)
Love your video
Hi Gladys
I refuse to believe California isnt on that list half my town in Az are from California
They're probably Democrats and will vote Democrat, so Arizona will be the next State to leave.
I was borne in California. I left with them. all the people I talked to are republicans. I hope they didn't come to AZ! I was a democrat and left that crap hole of a party. I mean I don't agree with everything republicans are about but I sure as hell don't agree with a lot more that the democrats are about now! this isn't the same party that elected Bill Clinton the people that are in there now are nuts
Yet you forget Alaska, Kansas, and Louisiana are on this list all republican controlled especially the first two
Because of how much migration is coming from other countries.
here in Oregon too unfortunately
My parents fled upstate NY in the 70s for NC. No jobs, high taxes even then. I'm glad they did because I enjoyed growing up in NC!
@David Vance in Winston-Salem.
@David Vance W-S has really grown a lot especially the downtown. Business 40 thru downtown has been totally redone finally so it's smooth sailing thru the city now.
Love NC
@mario Dias Bad grammar, and personal problems and opinions.
@mario Dias Ehhh, doesn’t really matter. All of your reasons for saying my state sucks are literally opinions and personal problems.
Oddly enough I think living in Wyoming or Kansas sounds great. Of course I'm coming from having lived in large metro areas most of my life. I think peace of mind is far more important than high wages.
Montana is beautiful too.
As much as I loved Hawaii, I moved because the cost of living is too expensive! Imagine working 2 - 3 part time jobs PLUS 1 full time job, if you're not on Disability. And, IF you are on Disability & dependent on EBT SNAP benefits while you are working a part time job; you are only "allowed" to earn a "certain" (LIMITED) amount, or else both your SSI and EBT benefits will be cut off, than you have to start all over again -_-
I won't spend my retirement years in Massachusetts THAT'S FOR SURE
I left 5 years ago.
Same here... I really wanna move
I live in CT
How about Mass to Tx what you guys thinking ?
@@toughntender1 I moved to Mass from midwest 36 years ago. Best decision. I've been happy here.
I lived in Alabama my entire life and I'm ready for a change of scenery when this pandemic ends. Narrowing my choice between New Hampshire, Colorado, Arizona and Washington state.
I enjoyed Tuscon Arizona as there's a lot of activities and the cost of living isn't outrageous, they do vehicular inspections though.
Try the DMV area, lots of free events and great culture here
Colorado and Arizona are both great but don’t move to Phoenix. Go somewhere like Tucson or in the mountains like Sedona or Payson. In Colorado, Colorado Springs is like a nice season, smaller Denver
Surprise, Arizona and Seattle, Washington are both great places so is Florida and Texas but I’m also in the military 😂 Utah isn’t too bad besides the 8 months of winter
I moved from Alabama to Arizona and absolutely loved it! The different scenery was a breath of fresh air. I'm back in AL for now, but I plan to relocate back to either AZ or Utah. Best of luck with your decision! 🖤
Nice clip
Why did I leave the Rochester NY area? It is called "eminent domain", where the state or City takes your land without compensation (I think 1/10 of the value is no compensation!) and left me with 1/4 of a farm. So I searched the Southern states for a comfortable parcel of land, bought it and sold what was left for a tidy "nest egg", and MOVED to Alabama. We had bought 100 acres with a dilapidated farmhouse on it, renovated it, and planted pine trees on the land. Now, after years have passed, the pines are mature for harvesting. I now am looking for the best price on my trees and re-planting. After that is done, I am retiring, maybe my Son will take up tree farming. Yes, Birmingham is growing close to my "farm", but it will take a while for that to become a problem. Yes, NY was a great place to go fishing, and camping in the Adirondacks, but eminant domain is bullshit and should never be used to break up a family farm to sell it to a concrete and asphalt manufacturer, ruin the ecology, and then close and ruin a town's economy. Here, I will never have to worry about it in my lifetime, and Alabama is a great state to adopt as my home.
Man whatta happy ending!

Surprised Vermont isn’t on here. It’s expensive and literally NOTHING to do here. The biggest city of Burlington would be a small town in any other state
Burlington metro is 204,000 that’s pretty sizeable considering there are only 570,000 in Wyoming.
@@samtyrrel5512 Definitely doesn't feel that big though
Couldn't agree more. One more year and I'm outta here. After living here most of my life, I've had enough. The unbelievably high taxes, welfare welcome attitude, crumbling infrastructure, and terrible winter weather just begins to explain my attitude. All my children have left because there are no opportunities. It's also an awefull place to be a business owner. Anyone interested in a house in either Stowe or East Braintree?
Vermont is gorgeous though, I think it's a great place for someone who loves nature and calm. Not sure about jobs, could benefit someone who gets to work from home. Driving through Vermont reminded me of the smokey mountains, the state is like one big nature preserve. Burlington was small yet charming, my perspective as a visitor! Anyways, I live in NC and it's pretty here in certain sections but Vermont is definitely a gorgeous state.
Sam Tyrrel That’s quite the exaggeration, since under how “metro areas” are defined, all Burlington gets is Chittenden County, half of which is still pretty rural. The entire county population is 164,000, of which Burlington has a population of 42,000.
@Jacob Pratt 42,000 is not “small town.” It is right on the large town/small city definition line. Small towns, for anyone who has actually seen them or lived in them are considerably smaller.
Your attempt at "on the road again" priceless!!!!
I've lived on the East Coast, Texas, Cali and Hawaii. Hawaii was the most beautiful. We lived there over 21 years. I miss my Ohana (family & friends) .
I've lived in N.C., Minn, Mo, Cali, 8 months in Viet Nam and now Hawaii 35 years. N.C is OK, Viet Nam is beautiful. Hawaii mo bettah. When TSHTF it will be bad. When angel anti-Christ arrives day 794 as king of the locusts at the 5th trumpet, great tribulation starts day 1230 and ends with the Rapture day 1335 we're outa here. MAKING SENSE OF REVELATION, A VERSE BY VERSE LITHOPHANE, by A.W. Simpson. It's what the Bible says.
I lived in Connecticut. Hated it. There are some nice people there, but a lot of them were snobs.
Terry Bardy I lived in Connecticut as well. Decent people. High taxes and nothing to do because of winter. I moved to Florida. Much better
@@AF-xi8ly You were smart! After my husband died, I moved to Massachusetts.
@Terry Brady. I second that! I grew up there, left forNC at 16(father’s job change). It opened my eyes to the possibilities around me! Spent 2 years there, then 30 in VA, and now finally, in East TN for 15. Paradise, ah!
I was born and raised in CT. I now live in upstate NY and although the taxes are just as bad we are only here for a few more years and at least NY doesn’t have property tax on cars, boats, and atvs. Also my insurance payments dropped in half after moving. So I definitely don’t miss all that. But I have such a love for the New England coast and really cherish the visits back home.
I live in northern San Diego in Southern California. It sucks cuz their are no jobs here and the cost of living is through the roof and is getting more and more expensive every 3 months. It has become a homeless paradise like Los Angeles and San Francisco. There are some nice people who live there but lots of them are snobs too.
Tourists and rich people buying up all the land is why prices were driven up in Hawaii. The 70's was the best time to visit or live in Hawaii.
Nope. Jones Act.
@kxr that's hilarious! Capitalism is liberating the world.
And the 70s were a hungry, miserable time in Hawaii - it's only gone downhill since.
@Debra Meyers except good music.
@Debra Meyers In the early 1970's there was a nostalgia craze for the 1950's. American Graffiti was an example of that. So was Happy Days. The feeling was that music had got too complicated and dark. People wanted a return to simpler and happier music. People wanted a return to more innocent times. The Watergate Crisis and the fall of Vietnam to communism meant that many Americans felt disillusioned. Jimmy Carter was a failed President. It was not until Ronald Reagan became President that Americans started to feel good about themselves. I will take Doo-Wap over disco any day.
Problem with New Yorkers moving to Florida is that they bring their undesirable politics with them.
