New York – Outbound Moves: 63.1%

We don’t think anyone is surprised by seeing New York’s outbound movement stats! Living in this urban jungle is a challenge that involves rising costs of living and dealing with a super-expensive real estate market.

Rental costs could make your wallet lighter by $60K a year, and buying a house will require you to shell out upwards of $1 million. Besides this, the state has a bunch of taxes that could be a sizable blow to many residents of the place. Given the state of affairs, most people are opting to move out to live in a bigger home that works out cheaper.
