I've actually noticed quite a few Georgia plates this year. I've seen a few Tennessee, FL and of course California plates.
That’s interesting. I know a disproportionate amount of people here in Seattle that have moved to either Dallas or Austin - Houston, not so much. It seems far and away the most popular out of state destination, not counting Californians who decide to move back. I do get the Texas attraction, especially for those planning on having /have kids and can’t afford the sky high housing here. A lot of them took their remote jobs with them.
There seems to be a direct connection from St. Louis to Kansas City, Dallas, Chicago and Seattle.
I am meeting people from all over. In my runners club there is representation from Nashville, Little Rock, Philadelphia, Chicago and rural areas in the mid west.
I live in the Wichita, KS area which, unfortunately, attracts very few outsiders. If I see out of state license plates it is usually from either OK or TX. I've heard that some of the educated, progressive-minded people from Wichita area relocate to places like Kansas City or Omaha.
People are moving to Florida mostly from all the woke places up north. I haven't noticed much migration from other sunbelt states, but people from NY, NJ, New England etc are flocking here.
In my Denver suburb most of the newcomers seem to hail from California and other western states. A few are from the Northeast and Texas, with the rest coming from rural Colorado.
I don't know that many who're thinking of moving away, but the few I know who're thinking of it are either moving to PNW or Florida, because they miss the ocean.
I'm in North Idaho. Lots of people moving here from the Seattle area and various places in California.
They are sure to let us know how they are superior and more sophisticated because they come from the big city and they don't make any effort to fit themselves into the local culture and think they should be the ones to run things. Needless to say, they are not well liked.
As far as I can tell, no one is moving away, so there is no clear cut destination for people who are leaving.
I'm in Denver. People I've met recently have moved here from California, Washington, and New York. I don't know anyone who's moved out of here recently. A few moved out of Denver over and other mountain towns to Grand Junction.
Of people that have moved here that I talk to, Louisiana is the big one. Beyond that, Nigeria, Venezuela, the Central American nations, India, Southern California, Midland, TX, South Florida, and Midwestern states. We do have some Friends from Portland too. All in all, I meet more people from other countries than other parts of the US.
Of people that are leaving, the big two that seem to constantly come up are Austin and Denver.
Most (as always the case) move back to the city/region that was once their home.
For those that don’t have a family connection somewhere, it’s either Nevada or Arizona for my mom’s friends in the retirement age bracket, and Texas and Florida for my friends with school aged kids. It’s only about 10 families collectively, but this is up from 0 that moved pre-covid.
As for moving here it’s the same bunch that have been moving here my whole adult life. Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Arizona are by far the top 3 areas. Boston (NE), Washington, and Colorado is the next tier.
I live in Philly, a lot of people I meet here have moved from NYC or DC. It's actually been quite surprising how many people I've met have lived in DC at some point.
