Oregon Continues to be Magnetic to Moving Vans
January 15th, 2007
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.

It’s nice that you gave me credit for the photo, but did you check the cc license under which this photo is published? It’s Attribution-Non Commercial-Share Alike. Attribution? Check. Non commercial? Hmmmm…doubtful. Share alike? Nope. I can see by the © at the end of the post that you’re not sharing. For shame.
Unrelated to that, I thought it was pretty hilarious when I saw the subject matter of this blog post, as I moved from CA to OR end of last year. I’m a statistic!

That’s got to be the first time I’ve seen someone complain about getting credit for someone using their picture. Must have been a good one…

I actually took this photo during a road trip a couple of years back to check out Oregon as I was looking to move their from Arizona; but ended up in Chicago instead. (better job market)
A beautiful state (especially along the coast line).
btw - thanks for using my photo!!
