The 10 States EVERYONE is LEAVING

Why is everyone leaving these states?

Every 5 years, Americans move to another home. It’s not always a dramatic move - say going from California to Colorado. Often, it’s close by - across town or to another part of the state.

Every 5 years might sound like a lot, but that’s actually lower than it used to be. As a population, we’re getting older, and older people can’t move as easy as younger people can. Nowadays, mom AND dad both have jobs, which makes mobility a tougher pill to swallow. And, data shows that we don’t job hop as often as we used to.

Which states are seeing the biggest population decline over time? Actually, there are exactly ten of them. The rest of the states have seen either slight increases or BIG gains in people. We’ll talk about where people are moving, and why everyone’s leaving and all of the other fun stuff in this video.

So, grab your packing tape and don’t forget the goldfish. We’re going to explore America’s fastest shrinking states.
