(Chart from Keeping Current Matters) According to the 2016 United Van Lines National Movers Study, last year South Dakota had the highest rate of inbound movers in the nation. According to United Van Lines, “the study is based on household moves handled by United within the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C. This study ranks states based off the inbound and outbound percentages of total moves in each state.”
What’s driving the numbers? According to the company’s survey, retirees are chasing tax benefits, and job seekers are looking for new opportunities.
South Dakota, Under God the people rule. Who wouldn’t want to live in one of the greatest states? We sold a house within 2 days to someone from CA. We have new neighbors that moved from MPLS to escape the Somalian/Muslim invasion and recently spoke to a doctor who left CA stating that they would never return to that self-entitled state. In every one of these conversations, a statement was made about how our morals & values are still of an importance. It would be interesting to know if the cities/states, loosing their community members, are lead by a Republican or Democratic team? I think that may a rhetorical question;)
yet South Dakota still needs federal dollars to make it’s budget every year. It gets back more money from the feds then it pays. SD needs to pull itself up by it;s boot straps and be self sufficient.
A completely worthless statement. Just because your state has fewer people doesn’t mean you pay lower federal rates. In fact if you look at federal contribution on a per capital basis, SD ranks very high. Should Minnehaha county criticize Perkins county because they “subsidize” their portion of state services?
