2) Illinois, Illinois’ percentage of outbound moves was 66%. People leaving Illinois cite high taxes and cost of living in the Chicago area as a driving factor, as well as wanting to escape brutal winters. Local data shows that young people in particular are fleeing Illinois for states where they can earn more or live more cheaply. 3) New York, New York City has the most expensive housing in the nation, and the high cost of living is driving some people to relocate.
