With 2016 now a distant memory for most of us, we take a look back with United Van Lines at the migratory patterns of Americans over the course of the year. After a quick review of the data, a few interesting themes emerge:
1. People continue to flee the indebted, pension ponzi burdened liberal states of New England and the Midwest with New Jersey, Illinois, New York and Connecticut all ranking at the very top of the most ditched states of 2016.
2. Obama’s obliteration of the coal industry has pushed people out of Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio, none of which appeared on the list of most-ditched states back in 2008 and 2009 before Obama took office.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

3. Finally, the natural migratory pattern of New England’s liberal elitists seems to be toward cheaper and lower taxed states in the Southeast and Western portions of the country…go figure.
And here is the full, official list of the top outbound states for 2016:
- New Jersey
- Illinois
- New York
- Connecticut
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- West Virginia
- Ohio
- Utah
- Pennsylvania
Meanwhile, after topping the chart as the most moved to state for the past three years, Oregon had a disappointing 2016 and dropped all the way to number three behind South Dakota and Vermont….perhaps those retirees from New England were a little put off by the liberal snowflake riots that plagued the state after Hillary’s loss two months ago.
- South Dakota
- Vermont
- Oregon
- Idaho
- South Carolina
- Washington
- District of Columbia
- North Carolina
- Nevada
- Arizona
As a simple recap, Americans are moving from heavily-regulated, bureaucratic, high cost-of-living states with massive indebtedness and failing pensions to more affordable states. Seems fairly logical.
Finally, here is a handy chart from Van Lines that shows how the migratory patterns of Americans have changed since the late 70’s.
Problem is, that those who ‘ditch’ seem to bring their political proclivities with them.
They shit the nest all over again.
Who in their right mind would move to South Dakota or the District of Columbia?
Anon, my bro lives in SD. He ain’t right in the haid.
S. Dakota ain’t bad if you are in the right area. N. Dakota on the other hand…………… The only right area to be in in N. Dakota is someplace else!
Who would move to South Dakota I have no clue. But I know that D.C. attracts every type of lobbyist leech known to man. It is the promise of Gubmint money that has caused the influx to D.C. and when the teat runs dry I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near there. Things are going to get REALLY ugly when it does.
The first day it hits about 115 outside new folks from back east leave in droves. Arizona has horrible wages and expensive housing.You will compete with illegal aliens for jobs.All the people from CA. moving in have done a lot of damage also. Our state actually was considered a tossup about if Democrats or a Republican would be supported in the election.How messed up is that? I can see the state going downhill. There are scorpions and snakes and gangs. Car theft is a major problem.Just stay away!
Arizona looked good to my old boss, Darth. He went on and on about the lack of state taxes, the weather being just like ours in So Cal. Other folks prefer Oregon, Idaho, the Sacramento Valley.
California is a place where people from all over the country arrive like a weather front and the locals dream of going to live where those immigrants come from.
You can find retired Californios in Austin, even.
This is a pretty welcoming state, come over for a day and your a Californian. There’s a place for cowboys in Bakersfield, queers in West Hollywood, illegals in Compton, racists in National City and San Diego. We just don’t have room for New Yorkers, fuck them.
Stuck, there was even that girl with the gorgeous ass at the strip club, I asked where she was from, she said Philly. I might have to go just to check out the big asses over there. Native Cali girls have to get implanted to get the Philly look, aka Kim Ka Booty.
After this winter I predict that WA, OR and ID will have a high OUTBOUND rate of Commiefornians that can’t take the weather. Fucking pussies are whining non-stop about the weather and what they deem to be the local governments inability to protect them from snow, ice and cold weather.
We had an asswipe on the local news last night bitching because there was snow and ice “residue” in the handicapped parking area of our courthouse which caused him the hardship slipping on the ice with every step. If you can’t hack it………MOOOVE!
