Considering a move out of state? You’re not alone. Over recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in Americans relocating across state lines, a trend expected to continue in 2023. Illinois saw a significant population decline in 2022, particularly in Cook County, where Chicago is located, due to financial pressures and work-related challenges. High taxes, property costs, and rising rents are prompting many to seek more affordable housing options, especially in southern states like South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Remote work opportunities are also driving migration patterns, with cities such as Tucson and Jacksonville becoming popular destinations. Retirement relocations are also becoming more common.
