relocation

No state has gained a reputation for having residents leave more than Illinois has for the past few years. Now, it appears we know where all of the fleeing Illinoisans are going.

I was under the impression that Florida was one of the top destinations for people fleeing other states. Apparently, I had that backwards as there is new evidence showing that there is currently an exodus happening from the Sunshine State and many are heading directly toward Illinois.

For what it's worth, I'm not on board with all of the stay away from Illinois at all costs lists that occasionally get passed around the internet. However, I'm not an expert mover and there are several moving companies that seem to be in agreement that you might want to avoid moving to the Land of Lincoln.

There's good news and bad news about a new population forecast for Illinois. The bad news is that the state is forecast to lose almost 400,000 residents in the next couple of decades. The good news is rentals should be easier to find.

I'm no math genius, but this is a stunning number of people who said goodbye to Illinois in just one calendar year. New data just shared by the IRS reveals more than a quarter million residents left the Land of Lincoln recently.

I never did fully complete my college education and I live in Missouri which makes sense when you see a brand new study that shows the Show Me State is suddenly hemorrhaging residents with college degrees.

More than 10,000 Wisconsin residents move to Florida every single year. That means more than 10,000 Wisconsin people are in for a big culture shock once they land in the land of sunshine and oranges.

Every city and town has its good qualities and bad ones. But, is it possible for a place to get everything wrong? A new study says there are 5 places in Illinois that pulled off this infamous feat and you should never ever consider moving there or you'll regret it.

Perhaps desperation is the wrong word to use to describe what one Illinois town will do to motivate you to move there and work. There's no mistaking the fact that they're offering a lot to whoever is willing to call their part of the Land of Lincoln home.

Numbers are not my specialty, but it doesn't take a math genius to be completely befuddled about the sheer number of workers that have left the state of Illinois in just 4 short years. It's really remarkable by just about any measure.
