In 2021, 63.1% of all state-wide movers had left New York due to weather reasons (too cold and too much rain) and moving to get more space for themselves.
The main reason for Connecticut residents to leave is its lack of senior support for retirees. Connecticut is one of few states that taxes incomes on social security and other retirement funds.
The Golden State has 59.3% of residents leaving the state for good; aside from tax reasons, those relocating cite wanting to be closer to family out of state.
Around a third of the surveyed people claimed they were moving away for retirement. Others say it was to move closer to family and avoid the bad weather and cold winters.
