Exodus Slows?
According to one moving company, it looks like everyone who could afford to leave has exited:
- United Van Lines said Illinois dropped on its list of states ranked by residents packing up and moving out – the first time in a decade Illinois didn’t take one of its top spots.
From first place to ninth.
Other moving companies tell a different story:
Other moving companies and the U.S. Census reported different results.
Atlas Van Lines found 54% of its clients were moving out of Illinois rather than in during 2025. Allied Van Lines showed a 58% outbound rate for 2025, ranking Illinois No. 1 for losing people. Census estimates showed over 40,000 Illinoisans leaving for the year ending June 2025, with 82,900 leaving in 2024 – 95% for lower-tax states.
The United Van Lines study ranks the percentage of those moving out versus those moving in. Illinois was considered “balanced” in 2025, meaning there wasn’t a big gap between inbound and outbound moves.
Of everyone moving in or out of Illinois, less than 55% were moving out, according to the study. Just a year ago, nearly 60% of Illinois moves were people leaving the state, the second-highest rate behind New Jersey.
Maybe Atlas is just cheaper?

“ Dem Rep. Quigley: ‘We’re Way Past’ Compromise on Masking ICE, ‘Got to Take This Agency Down’ and Start Again”
Breitbart.com
Our Democrat dork Congressman and supporter of the illegal aliens is also considering running for Mayor in Chicago.
Just as soon as ole girl retires we gone
I plan on leaving. People leaving still out pace the people coming. If you don’t stop the bleeding the patient dies in the end. We needed to end the Democrat’s reign to make any change. Vote against the Democrats in the upcoming elections. At the current moment they are the problem in our area. That’s just the way it is! Forget voting blue NO matter who! That’s what got us here!
Add one more to the total. I moved but transported my own stuff. Sweet Home Alabama.
In Will County they can’t build houses fast enough especially in the I355 corridor. These are not cheap homes and taxes are nuts.
Here’s something else you don’t see in the statistics. When we moved from Chicago to Wisconsin 4 years ago, it was really hard to find a moving van to rent. It was much cheaper for us to rent a van in Wisc and drive down to Chicago to pack up our stuff.
I said that ten years ago, it's time to find a new ole girl somewhere sunny.
Wherever you go , you take yourself with you
Hopefully moving to California in 5 years.
Quigly is a loser. A little man with a small brain.
That’s about right!
He would continue all the crap of Lorri and Brandon. Neither my family or I could ever vote for him.
So true! Vote republican while we still have a chance.
WOW!!!!!!! Thanks for info.
I left last year. Best decision I’ve ever made.
Why Cali? This right here is the Commiefornia of the Midwest without a doubt. I get it, beautiful weather, but very small pockets of normalcy there though. Not many conservatives live there. But yeah, anything is better than here. At least if you’re getting taxed to death, pick a liberal democrat state that’s beautiful to die in
The weather is the biggest reason. We are taxed similar to California, so my wife and I would rather have nice weather all year long than just for several months. I should have left years ago but I listened to my family, which that was a mistake. I have a big love and hate relationship with CPD and Chicago, especially since I was born and raised here. I’ve worked years with the anti police policies. I’m pretty sure I’ll be okay in California with similar policies. LAPD and other Southern California departments can at least still chase criminals.
Best of luck. Enjoy the Giant Sequoias & Redwood Forests. Beautiful scenery there. If you’re into the outdoors. Get a classic car too to cruise by the oceanfront
Thank you.
