No surprise right? We see it everyday living in Florida. Construction. Traffic. We know firsthand that people from all over America are flocking to Florida. But believe it it or not, we’re not #1. And the state with the most incoming residents was a surprise to me. United Van Lines is out with the 2022 numbers of residents inbound and outbound for 2022. Take a look at the top 10.

• #10: Rhode Island

  I get this one. If I had to stay in New England, Rhode Island would be my pick. I would visit often when I lived in Massachusetts. If you ever get a chance to visit when they’re doing the “water fires,” go! Newport’s pretty cool too. And try some coffee milk.

• #9: Idaho

  I’m stumped on this one.  I love potatoes.  But I’ve never been to Idaho, so apparently there’s something a-peel-ing.  Potatoes.  Get it? OK I’ll stop.

• #8: Oregon

  You can’t get much further away from Florida than Oregon. It’s where many of my friends from California tend to end up.

• #7: Tennessee

  I’ve lost count of how many friends of mine have moved to Nashville.  The Volunteer State has that Smoky Mountain moonshine.  Taxes are low. And they have RC Cola and Moon Pie festival.

• #6: Alabama

  Looking to chill and find someplace more affordable?

• #5: Florida

  Beaches, lots of music and great sports teams, and no state income tax?  It’s not too hard to figure out why people keep moving here.

• #4: West Virginia

  I’ve gotta tell ya.  West Virginia would’ve never been on my radar until I visited in 2021.  The mountain life is beautiful.  Crank up the John Denver and visit sometime. Check out my pics from the trip.

• #3: South Carolina

  Lots of builders are hard at work in the state’s smaller cities.  But Charleston is beautiful too.  Affordable housing is a big draw.

• #2: South Dakota

  Visitors tend to fall in love and stay.  It has that Old West type feel.

• #1: Vermont

  I get it.  Vermont is beautiful.  Ben & Jerry’s as far as the eye can see and maple syrup appealing to you?  I hate snow and cold so Vermont would never be my choice to go, but I get it.  If you ever get to Burlington, go get the gingerbread pancakes at Penny Cluse Cafe.
