In 2013, Illinois saw more residents move out of the state than move in, according to a study commissioned by mover United Van Lines. The 2013 National Migration Study by the nation’s largest household goods mover showed 61 percent of moves were outbound (out of Illinois) while only 39 percent of moves were inbound (to Illinois).
At the national level, the study found a migration from Northeast states, such as New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts, to more southern and western states such as the Carolinas, Oregon and Nevada.The Top-9 list of outbound states for 2013:

1. New Jersey
2. Illinois
3. New York
4. West Virginia
5. Connecticut
6. Utah
7. Kentucky
8. Massachusetts
9. New Mexico

This year’s winner for most popular moving destination is Oregon, with 61 percent of moves to the state inbound ones. Good news, too, for Michigan, which appeared in the balanced category for 2013 after claiming the top outbound spot from 2006 to 2009.

Not even slightly surprising.

Not surprised either. Wonder which towns in CT are shrinking the least. Anybody have a clue?

Not surprising at all. I would like to see it broken into age groups as well (I would rule out college ages 18-22). But I would like to see 22-40, 40-55 and 55-85.

Kind of the same article with similar results.

Connecticut

It's sad when South Dakota is becoming a High Inbound State.

No towns are shrinking in CT, period. There are just areas that are not growing as fast as others. If you look at the statistics, CT's population has grown by .6% since 2010.

Shrinking is relative. If the population as a whole is growing and your population is growing less quickly, it is shrinking for all intents and purposes.

South Dakota is probably a high inbound state due to fracking. It's wreaked havoc on the state, so not necessarily something to strive for.

Uh, no. If the population is technically growing, it cannot be shrinking at the same time. It's a simple concept.
