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

Connecticut has a lot to offer young professionals, with excellent schools and a thriving job market. However, when it comes to retirement, the state seems to lose its appeal.

A study from United Van Lines found that people aged 55-64 are the most likely to move away, especially those with higher incomes. Harsh winters and a relatively high cost of living drive many retirees to seek out warmer, more affordable places.
