Louisiana has highest percentage of people that stayed in the area

Other Southern states have more yankees
"Louisiana is one of the least diverse states when it comes to domestic migration – nearly 4 out of 5 residents were born in the state, a figure that hasn't changed much over the past century.
Louisiana historically has had one of the highest retention rates in the nation. That changed after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. After accounting for all the people who left and those who came back, the overall picture showed an increase in movement to other states. About 10 percent of people born in Louisiana now live in Texas."

You gotta have money to leave.

I believe it
What I'll never understand though, is when people feel like they're "stuck" in louisiana yet do absolutely nothing to change their situation. I have no sympathy for your whining

You can bet that it's not because nobody *wants* to leave.

Why would anyone ever want to leave Louisiana? Best jobs, best culture, best food and best schools. I think I'll stay.

I left the state before and damn near kiss the ground when I got back.
A life without crawfish and fishing for specks and reds is a miserable one.

We are masochists.

That's because it sucks and nobody wants to move there

Well, other states don't accept my Louisiana Purchase card.

I believe it. The food. The women. LSU football. Camps on the river. The weather. I don't want to live anywhere else.

Many Louisiana natives are too scared to cut the cord and see what other areas have to offer. By turn, they mock those have the foresight to see while a great state, there is better places to live and/or raise a family often with higher pay, better job opportunities, and lower cost of living.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else other than Napa Valley.

As someone who's been forced to spend a lot of time elsewhere, Louisiana is tGOAT

I have no desire to leave. I was born in NOLA, grew up in New Iberia. Spent 5 years in Baton Rouge at LSU. Moved to Lafayette after graduating and love it here.
I have traveled all over the country and world (about 20 countries). While I enjoy travelling, I always look forward to getting back home.
That's just what Louisiana is, home.

link shows more CA natives stay(75%) than La(71%). Of course, they have a far greater influx of others.
Interesting stats.

The pays is great for us in the Engineering field, and I'm only 4 hours from Destin.

People from Louisiana get pretty butthurt when you tell them this. Quite comical.
