Ranking America's States: Where People Are Moving—And Why They’re Leaving

27. New Mexico

Nicknamed the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico has a unique charm. But even with its beauty, some residents decide to move on.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that over 58,000 people left New Mexico in 2022, with Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Florida being the top destinations. However, the state also welcomes newcomers from those same places, creating a near-even exchange of residents.
