NY State depopulating? People leaving outnumber people moving in by 2 to 1.

Not exactly good local economic news. This is from the Times Union, an Albany paper.

United Van Lines reported Tuesday that nearly two-thirds of the moves involving New York households were outbound, a higher proportion than any other state except New Jersey and Illinois.

The 2016 National Movers Study by Fenton, Mo.- based United also found that almost 59 percent of the moves within the eastern United States were outbound.

Where were people moving? Mostly to western states and the Carolinas, with one exception. That exception was Vermont, which ranked second on the list of states with the highest proportion  – 67 percent — of inbound moves.
