Massachusetts Once Again Makes “Most Moved FROM” States List for 2023

Author Beasley Media Editorial

If this means less people in line ahead of you at Market Basket, are you really going to complain?! For the second year in a row, Massachusetts is left entering a new year scratching it’s head saying to itself, “where’s everybody going?”

Massachusetts is once again one of the Most Moved From states according to a new study. The study from United Van Lines craftily used it’s own vast data on moves to determine which states have the most people MOVING AWAY as opposed to MOVING TO and Massachusetts is on it’s short list of states where the most people are leaving as opposed to moving to.

The states seeing the biggest exoduses of it’s residents moving out of state are: New Jersey, Illinois, North Dakota, New York, Michigan, California, MASSACHUSETTS, and Kansas.
The states seeing the biggest growth (the most residents moving to the state as opposed to moving away) are VERMONT, Washington DC, South Carolina, Arkansas, RHODE ISLAND, North Carolina, South Dakota, Alabama, New Mexico, and West Virginia.

United Van Lines says that 56.6 percent of its Massachusetts customers moved out of the Bay State in 2023, as opposed to 43.4 percent of its customers who moved into the state.
Strange that while we shrink, our neighbors to the north and south (Vermont and Rhode Island) made the biggest growth and gains list. This was also the first time in more than a decade where the study’s findings list fewer than 10 “outbound” states.

If you’d like to submerge yourself in all the tasty moving here and fro data that United Van Lines just served up in their 47th Annual National Movers Study for 2023, CLICK HERE to check it all out. Also, please don’t move away. We’d miss you way too much.

So why are all these people leaving Massachusetts?! Some may say cost… others may say this might have something to do with it:

Boston is One of America's Rudest Cities, But Which City Topped the List?

  • #10 San Francisco, CA

    9.8% of respondents thought San Francisco had the rudest people. A good chunk of those rude people include cyclists. According to witnesses and respondents, cyclists will curse at pedestrians like it’s no one’s business.

  • #9 Philadelphia, PA

    Us Bostonians would agree with this. Those Eagles fans are just plain rude.  9.9% of respondents thought Philadelphia had the rudest people. And yes, Eagles fans are citied in the survey. 

  • #8 Baltimore, Maryland

     11.2% of respondents thought Baltimore had the rudest people. The study cites one man who was trying to prank people by roasting them on camera. He would eventually get arrested for it. 

  • #7 Buffalo, New York

     11.3% of respondents thought Buffalo had the rudest people. I mean, it is a part of New York. Have you ever seen those Bills fans?

  • #6 Detroit, Michigan

    11.6% of respondents thought Detroit had the rudest people. A specific incident was cited by a woman who worked at a local McDonald’s who was tasered by a customer who said her order was taking too long. 

  • #5 Boston, Massachusetts

    14.9% of respondents thought Boston had the rudest people. Personally, I believe this is a tad low for us. We should definitely be in the top 3. We cut lines, get massive road rage and are very proud of our sports teams to the point where we will get belligerent. 

  • #4 Chicago, Illinois

     18.6% of respondents thought Chicago had the rudest people. Even Chicago’s hometown newspaper says their city has been rude for decades. 

  • #3 Washington, D.C.

    18.9% of respondents thought Washington had the rudest people. A lot of this has to do with the political climate with the survey saying some political outbursts can take place on the floor of congress. 

  • #2 Los Angeles, California

     19.7% of respondents thought Los Angeles had the rudest people. How can this be? One respondent said “We can’t even keep crossing guards at our school anymore. They quit because parents are so rude and yell at them every day.”

  • #1 New York, New York

    WOW look at the percentage!  34.3% of respondents thought New York had the rudest people. At least this is something we can all agree upon. Even back in the 1700s, the perception of New Yorkers was just plain rude. According to President John Adams, “I have not seen one real gentleman, one well-bred man, since I came to town. At their entertainments there is no conversation that is agreeable; there is no modesty, no attention to one another.”
