10 States Losing the Most Residents

Using data from Moody’s Economy.com, Forbes identified the top-10 states where more residents are leaving than arriving. 

The factors that encourage outbound migration from these states are mostly economic — high employment and high cost of living — although both Louisiana and Mississippi have been affected by natural disasters. 

The 10 states that have said goodbye to the most residents are: 

1. New York
2. Illinois
3. Ohio
4. Nebraska
5. Kansas
6. Iowa
7. Louisiana
8. North Dakota
9. South Dakota
10. Mississippi
