Last week we posted United Van Lines’ annual moving report and this week we’re taking a look at Atlas Van Lines’ 2022 Migration Patterns Study. Overall, Atlas’ Migration Patterns Study showed that 13 U.S. states were classified as outbound (more people moved out) and 13 U.S. states were classified as inbound (more people moved in). Interestingly, Atlas says Florida was once again a preferred destination for movers but North Carolina tops this year’s inbound list. Not surprisingly, Illinois has become the country’s outbound leader.Atlas has published their annual study since 1993 which tracks America’s interstate, cross-border, and international moves based on internal data. Indeed…
“Atlas Van Lines’ data shows that people are leaving some of the most affordable states like Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois, indicating cost of living is being surpassed by other motivations to move, like being closer to family.”
