Oregon Continues to be Magnetic to Moving Vans

Another report highlights Oregon’s attractiveness to new residents, based on the number of moving vans entering the state versus those leaving.

United Van Lines released its 2006 study on migration and finds Oregon at #2 overall in the nation for inbound moves. At 64%, only North Carolina tops the Beaver State for overall ratio of inbound to outbound moves. Over 62% of moves involving Oregon were inbound.

Last year, Oregon topped the study. It was the 19th straight year for Oregon to have more entrants than exiters.

This was the 30th annual survey by United Van Lines, which monitored over 227,000 moves in the contiguous U.S. Other high inbound states (>55%) included Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, South Carolina, and Alabama.

High outbound states included much of the upper Midwest, like Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
