I'd like to leave the state after retirement. Although I'm not a native, I should have some sort of "seniority status" that puts me above the transients.

Based on my interaction with many Marylanders, I get the impression that many of the people treated as Maryland natives were actually from out of state, moving and starting families here while working for the federal government and industries servicing the federal government. I've known quite a few that have left Maryland. In some cases, their children have left as well, since there was nothing tying them to Maryland.

Ok, include naturalized Marylanders. It still would be interesting to see how many of them, meaning multi-decade residents like you and me, as well as inbred natives are moving out and how much of the churn is just natural turnover.

Keep in mind that the state has a large military presence so that will play into it. Unless the 55+ year old military retiree gets a job as an overpaid consultant with a defense contractor he'll probably leave.

There are quite a few of those, as well as Civil Service retirees, near me (Calvert seems to draw them like a pile of crab shells draws flies) and many of them either leave or use their houses here as seasonal living if they don't stay.

People move for a multitude of reasons 95 % of them have nothing to do with the state itself. Health ,family, weather, etc. I don't hate Maryland and wouldn't mind staying except for one thing family(hers) . We both want not out but away. We have many friends in NJ and could move there in a min but won't for the exact same reason family (mine). We have friends in NC, Delaware and up in New England and are looking over all our options .To make a thread up becuase you want to hate on the place is bush league.

Read your link a little closer. Who's data did they use? United Van lines, from one year earlier.

Hey, at least we got stuff done despite having to work around the GS types.

Surprised to see you here. I thought you spent all your time on that other site.

I think Maryland is becoming a good state to be from, like California.
