Why Is Everyone Leaving North Dakota For This Popular State?
Whether it be for a new job or just a change of scenery, people occasionally move out of North Dakota.
Right now, I think many of us would move out of North Dakota to be somewhere a little warmer. These -26 degree days are brutal and something I know I, personally would like to escape, if only for a brief vacation.
Some North Dakotans do choose to leave the state for good; if you want to know where they're going, we just got word.
Where Are North Dakotans Going?
A study done by experts at Forbes Home, looked at U.S. Census data and state-to-state migration patterns to find out where people are moving to and from in each state.
Well, there are five states North Dakotans are moving to the most, according to the source.
5. Florida
Yes, it seems some of us would like to move somewhere with a completely different climate. Can you blame them? Palm trees, sunshine, pina coladas... ahh, sounds nice. I'm sure this is where many North Dakotans go to retire.
4. Ohio
You might find this one surprising. The fourth most popular state North Dakotans move to is Ohio. I'm trying to come up with an explanation, but I've got nothin'.
The source found that 1,354 people moved to the state during the year of the study.
3. Wisconsin
From one cold climate to another, a lot of North Dakotans pack up and head for the Great Lakes. After all, we love to fish.
2. Colorado
This one is sort of obvious. It seems any time I hear someone talking about moving out of North Dakota, they tell me they are going to Colorado/Colorado Springs. This is the second most popular state North Dakotans move to, with 2,084 people moving during the year of the study.
1. Minnesota
This should be no surprise to you; the number one place North Dakotans move to is Minnesota. You get closer to a city, but you're not too far to where you can't hop in your car and road trip back over to North Dakota.
There was a HUGE number of people found to have moved to Minnesota; 8,360 North Dakotans scooted over to Minnesota during the time of the study, according to the source. WOW!
