​​TOP STATES for INBOUND MOVERS 2015 – Americans have been moving to states in the South and West in search of better jobs, larger space, and cheaper housing.

This trend continued in 2015 according to a recent report  on the top states for inbound and outbound moves from United Van Lines​, a long-distance moving network.

Top Inbound States from Uni​ted Van Lines
1. Oregon: 69% 
2. South Carolina: 63%
3. Vermont: 62%
4. Idaho: 61%
5. North Carolina: 59%
6. Florida: 59%
7. Nevada: 57%
8. District of Columbia: 57%
9. Texas: 57%
10. Washington: 56%

The top three destinations share qualities that attract population inflows —the availability of jobs, family ties, and retirement are the most cited among making the choice to move.

Hanley Wood Data added a new dimension to the United Van Lines study by pulling housing data from Metrostudy to show how affordable and healthy housing in in the top inbound and outbound moving states.
