An annual

shows Illinois was the second-most moved-out state in 2018.

According to United Van Lines' 2018 National Movers Study, around two-thirds of moves involving the state of Illinois were outbound. This means nearly two people were leaving Illinois for every person that moved to the state last year.

The results follow a similar trend regionally, as nearly 56 percent of Midwest moves were outbound.

Nationally, these were the Top 10 most outbound states:

1. New Jersey

2. Illinois

3. Connecticut

4. New York

5. Kansas

6. Ohio

7. Massachusetts

8. Iowa

9. Montana

10. Michigan

This study follows a U.S. Census

​ last month that revealed Illinois had the second-largest population decrease among U.S. states.
