United Van Lines recently shared their 38th Annual National Movers Study. Here are the results of the 2014 Migration Study and an idea of where people are moving.
The following maps show us high inbound areas, high outbound areas and balanced areas for the whole country as well as the migration for the Sacramento Region. This should also help understand consumer demand for housing.
The national map shows California as a balanced state with roughly equal amounts moving in and out but looking at things on a local level tells a slightly different story. For El Dorado County the number of inbound customers are up again for 2014 compared to the studies from the last two years. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but one thing that differenciates El Dorado County verses other counties in our region is that we are a Proposition 90 county where Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, and Nevada counties are not.
Some other information from the study to note:
-The Northeast is experiencing a moving deficit with New Jersey (65 percent outbound), New York (64 percent) and Connecticut (57 percent) making the list of top outbound states for the third consecutive year. A separate study indicated the majority of the people leaving were for retirement reasons.
-The study found that Oregon is the top moving destination of 2014, with 66 percent of moves to and from the state being inbound. "recreational amenities, walkability scores, outdoor space, greenery, affordable housing and a vibrant downtown area all are drawing boomers to the great Northwest".
