Virginia seems less for lovers and more for movers because plenty of folks are moving out. While the state’s Washington D.C. suburbs are booming, rural areas in southern and western Virginia are rapidly losing residents. Like many other states on this list, about half of those people leave for employment reasons.
Meanwhile, another 25% hit the road to move closer to their family and the other quarter exited Virginia because they prefer to retire somewhere else. In fact, seniors are the group most often heading out of state. That’s in spite of the fact that Virginia claims its one of the best places to retire, with its incredible mix of mountains, beaches, and low taxes!
