Amidst the backdrop of a burgeoning cost of living crisis, millions of Americans are reconsidering their living arrangements, with many opting to relocate to more affordable states. Recent data sheds light on migration trends, revealing stark disparities in residents’ propensity to remain in their home states or seek greener pastures elsewhere. According to analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, certain states exhibit remarkable resilience in retaining native residents.

Texas leads the pack, with a significant proportion of its population opting to stay put, followed closely by North Carolina, Georgia, California, and Utah. These states boast thriving job markets, below-average tax burdens, and vibrant metropolitan areas, factors that contribute to their attractiveness as long-term residential destinations. Conversely, states like Wyoming, North Dakota, and Alaska experience higher levels of outbound migration, with less than half of their native populations choosing to remain.

Rhode Island and South Dakota also feature prominently in this category, reflecting challenges related to affordability, job opportunities, and overall quality of life. For many residents, the allure of more affordable housing options and tax-friendly policies outweighs sentimental attachments to their home states. Economic factors play a pivotal role in shaping relocation decisions, with affordability emerging as a primary consideration for both state-to-state migrants and native residents .
