Once all of the factors have been discussed and a destination is selected it's time to go. I can tell you that Vermont is the state most people relocated to in 2021. But which states are people leaving?
United Van Lines recently released their annual National Movers Study. One thing you can say for New York State is that it is consistently one of the top states that people leave. This is how the Empire State ranked among the Top 10 States people left in 2021.
