On Tuesday, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about the number of people who are leaving New York State. I personally can attest to that–I currently have one relative planning to leave this year and two who left last year. New York State is becoming a place that is very expensive to live in addition to rising crime and expanding restrictions put on law-abiding citizens rather than criminals.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an Empire State of decline.<\/p>\n

Beset by high taxes and quality of life woes, 545,498 New Yorkers\u00a0left for other states\u00a0<\/a>in 2022, according to US Census data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top destinations included Florida \u2014 the most popular choice \u2014 followed by New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania as well as more distant states like Texas and California.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exodus was partly offset by more people moving to the Empire State in 2022 than any year over the last decade, with 301,000 new residents making the transition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite that uptick, New York still suffered a net population loss of 244,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The departures have yet to impact New York City housing costs, with median rents continuing to hover near all-time post COVID-19 highs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s interesting to see that many New Yorkers are choosing to remain in the same general area–New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, all of which are generally headed in the same direction as New York.<\/p>\n

The article also notes:<\/p>\n

The number of New Yorkers moving to Texas surpassed 30,000 for the first time in 2022 \u2014 up from 18,000 in 2019 for an increase of 67%, the data show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Carolina, Massachusetts, Virginia and Georgia rounded out the top ten destinations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The least popular choices were Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, Mississippi and South Dakota which all saw less than 500 people move from New York in 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Dakota was the least preferred, with just 52 people scampering to the Mount Rushmore State last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…A Post analysis of the census bureau\u2019s state-to-state migration figures shows a steady decline from New York each year since 2012, with departures vastly outpacing inbound moves and roughly 4.6 million people waving goodbye to New York over the past decade<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roughly 2,700,000 people relocated to New York over that span \u2014\u00a0resulting in a net population loss<\/a>\u00a0of 1.9 million residents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if the New Yorkers that move to states with more conservative values adapt or try to recreate what they left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
