These stats don’t seem to back up what we are being told

Best states to live for what? Getting mugged? Oppressed by dictator like local government?

Probably the first and only poll of this type to be won by New Jersey.

That is contrary to everything I've read. La. is static. Outbounds and Inbounds are low. That's why the pop is flat line.
Nevada is extremely outbound and it's not on the list. It has an equal inbound so it is No. 1 in 'non birth residents.'

Here's an article explaining their methodology:

I live in New Jersey now. Can't really help that, it was a necessity for my wife's job. It's not a place we would have chosen otherwise. The only one on that list I might choose to live in would be New York, and that's only because I grew up Upstate. A summer spot up there would be cool, to live there year round, not so much.

New Jersey is often defined by stereotype. Most of it is nice suburbs. Only a few shitty areas like Camden/Trenton and Newark.

Trenton isn't that bad. Get out into the surrounding areas and it's rural-ish suburbia.

PA has no state tax on retirement income, definitely a plus.

Chester County is really nice too.

New York and Massachusetts made the list but Florida didn't?

Seems like a joke .
