I came across 2 articles, one from Redfin about where everyone is moving from/to and the average salary of what a person needs to make to live in a state.

The Redfin one is interesting:

Myrtle Beach, SC Lands on List of Popular Homebuyer Migration Destinations For First Time

A record 26% of Redfin.com users are looking to move out of their hometown. Relatively affordable places like Las Vegas, Sacramento and Myrtle Beach are among the most popular destinations for relocating homebuyers, partly because stubbornly high mortgage rates are making housing payments so...

Who says people are leaving Cali? Although, Dallas does seem to be the destination from Cali.

And New Yorkers are all moving to Florida.

As for most expensive states to live:

The salary a single person needs to get by in every U.S. state

To cover living expenses in Hawaii, a single person would have to earn nearly $133,000.
www.cnbc.com www.cnbc.com
  1. Hawaii: $112,411
  2. Massachusetts: $87,909
  3. California: $80,013
  4. New York: $73,226
  5. Alaska: $71,570
Weren't we talking about moving to Hawaii in other threads?

And who would live in Alaska?
 
Population Shift out of the Blue states to Red States.

California > Texas
New York > Florida
Illinois > Georgia

Texas's population will eventually outgrow California as the most populous state. Florida's population is already greater than New York. Georgia will eventually surpass Ohio, Illinois, and Pennsylvania's population as the 5th most poplous state. It will take time though.

The only state I would move to is New Hampshire, where we lived for 4 years when I worked in the Boston area. Ocean is close, lots of ski hills close by (45 mins from my house), cheap high quality seafood and no state income tax or sales taxes. Bedford NH in particular.
