Where Americans moved in 2024

Mood light. Vitamin D. Money.

The gloom doesn't get me, the green cheers me up. I don't however handle the COLD well anymore. I cannot much work outside under 40°F. I have Reynauds.
Pablo, PNW MAY-SEP absolutely awesome, maybe a top five best weather on the planet location for that period of time. Maybe time for you to get a place for OCT-APR that is sunny, warm, and not wet........
 
Migration numbers like these between the various states also means that the by state numbers for the congressional house of representatives and electoral college are probably way off.

Is there a way to call for an early census count so we can get the House of Representatives and electoral college aligned to where people are living or must we wait for 2030? Seems like by moving many voters unintentionally leave national election clout behind.

Numerous published articles have a theory that the census numbers are way off and the numbers from the census are unreliable. Not sure a early census will result in significantly different results.
 
Or wind up like Aberdeen where they are converting churches to bars
😷
The only place ever where a nasty skank heroin hooker hit me up while filling the car, around 20 years ago. In the car were wife and kids. I give some credit to previous mayor for cleaning the place up some.

Hey how you know about Aberdeen? Just Cobain? I mean the ONLY good thing about the place is right (north) to the beach (we almost bought a place in Ocean Shores - great place) and left (south) to the beach (Westport, Ocean Park, Long Beach, etc.
 
When I retire I’m moving out of Florida.

I was in Greenville, SC area 3 times looking around at neighborhoods. I like what I’ve been seeing.
Roadways could be improved and repaired / repaved.

SC BBQ is soooo delicious.
You can buy my place. Seriously, moved here almost 20 years ago and the population of my little town has exploded. ~10K when we got here, now hovering around 40K residential. Workforce day population doubles that. All on the same crappy roads and infrastructure as it was those 20 years ago. And we suffer the same migration protocol with those coming from northern states where folks want to change things from a nice southern place with a friendly culture, to more like where they came from. Funny, almost all say they left where they were to get away from that atmosphere there, but then bring it right down with them. Saw one of the funniest bumper stickers the other day; "Don't New York my South Carolina". Wife retires in another 2 years and we are getting out of here. We love the state in general, but too dang many people moving here. Won't be telling anyone where we are going so they don't follow us 😁.
 
It would be interesting to know age distribution of coming and going into each state. I assume lots of people of retirement age are leaving the northeast, to buy a cheaper house in a warmer climate.
California is an interesting case, but I guess if you've made 2000% on your house since your bought it, and can buy something nice in a warmish climate for 20% of what you can sell your house for, you might move too!
Anyways, correlation is not the same as causation, and net migration is kind of the most useless stat for trying figure out why states are growing or shrinking.

Everyone who lives in a decent area of California-their house is at worth at least 1 million dollars.
BTW-California actually gained population in 2024-

It it's halfway decent-you will be followed there. With the Internet and personal Blogs and what have you-there are no secrets anymore!

Keeping in mind - California’s 0.6% population increase also fell short of the national average (0.9%) and was significantly outpaced by the District of Columbia (2.2%), Florida (2%) and Texas (1.8%).

Time will tell. I dont think the recent fire events will help CA climb up to the national average increase.

After driving through Aberdeen, I feel like I need to see a therapist to get rid of the oppressive depression I get.
