[63% of moving states are moving to escape Canada's judgefest, 37% of moving states just want to be Gus Porter.]
California, Texas and Florida are the most popular destinations for those looking to escape the square bummsville states in the middle of our country. And Washington, Virginia, and Minnesota round out the top six. If people aren't moving south, they're headed to the furthest edges of the United States, barring Maine, of course. Take a look at my *skilled* illustration below, demonstrating that I'm right.
In general, here's the shakedown:
- Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Colorado, and Hawai'i are moving to CA.
- California, New Mexico, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are moving to TX.
- Alaska, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Georgia are moving to FL.

- Oregon, Idaho, and Montana are moving to WA.
- North Dakota, South Dakota (can't they do anything separately), and Wisconsin are moving to MN.
- Maryland, West Virginia, and North Carolina are moving to VA.
While clever states make the getaway to one of the big three, less popular states are flocking to their pageant-queen neighbors like court cases to Lindsay Lohan. Texas and California are besties, swappin DNA in the living room closet while excluding Florida, who gets sloppy seconds from other states that didn't get the invite to the CA/TX love-party. Washington residents are backing down from their idealistic toadstools as they realize how much rain it takes to get green, while Minnesota and Virginia just sit back and soak up the love.
Yeah, I'm right. Tell everybody. This is definitely true and my scientific opinion is NOT to be discounted or trifled with.
