So basically at least 1 in 4 Americans wants to move out of the state in which they currently reside?
LOL that was my thought. The difference between lowest and highest isn't that huge of a number either. You could say that a large chunk of people wherever they are, are always wanting to go somewhere else.
It would be interesting to see this broken down by stuff like income as well.
I have family and friends in Chicago desparately trying to get out of Illinois themselves. I like the Chicago area myself but this is a tough time for the state.

Depends on your situation - but this is no different than most other large metros. Every one has people who want to leave and in return there's usually many people who want to move there and do so. This is a fact of life that anybody who's had enough friends living in most major metro areas would realize. If you haven't then you're pretty lucky. Cities like NYC, Chicago, LA, etc are pretty transient in nature and there's always people wanting to come and go.

The median personal income in the U.S. is like $24,000. A lot of people all over this country are struggling, so it makes sense that they're falling back on the notion of a "geographical cure" and thinking there must be better opportunities elsewhere.

Yep. Perhaps we should all move to Texas and all of our problems will just magically go away...

LOL... But even in Texas, a fairly large constituent wants to get the hell out. I'd like to see if such large proportions of people in other developed countries are as dissatisfied with where they are living as we Americans are.
