New Yorkers Fleeing State More Than Most of America

New Yorkers keep fleeing the Empire State at record numbers.

New data shows more New Yorkers are leaving the Empire State than most of America.

According to U-Haul's Growth Index, New York State is the 47th fastest-growing state.

New York State Ranks In Bottom Five

U-Haul reports that the top five states people are moving out of are California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts.

New York State also ranked 47th out of 50 last year.

"States are ranked by their net gain (or loss) of U-Haul customers who rented a one-way truck, trailer or U-Box® portable moving container in one state and dropped off their equipment in another state," U-Haul tells Hudson Valley Post.
