Elite Relocation Group sees massive increase in long distance move out of NY tri-state area to southern states in 2022 and the trend is continuing.
BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Elite Relocation Group, one of the East Coast's leading relocation services companies, has seen a marked increase in state-to-state moves, particularly long-distance moves, as families and businesses leave the New York Tri-State area for less expensive parts of the country.
According to a chart provided by the Missouri Economic and Research Center (https://meric.mo.gov/data/cost-living-data-series), the New York Tri-State area has among the highest costs of living in the nation. Many families and businesses are relocating to southern states like the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida where the cost of living is lower. In fact, Mississippi has the lowest cost of living in the United States.
"As the cost of living in the Northeast seems to increase every month," said Michelle, CEO of Elite Relocation Group. "We're continuing to see a mass departure from the New York Tri-State area to the south, to less expensive states. With so many people being able to work from home and with businesses also leaving the New York metropolitan area, employment in these states is not hard to find and housing is often less than half the cost."
According to the US Census Bureau's (https://bit.ly/3G04WiC) latest press release on the issue of internal migration, "New York had the largest annual numeric and percent population decline, decreasing by 180,341 (-0.9%). Net domestic migration (-299,557) was the largest contributing component to the state's population decline." The move south is highlighted by massive increases in Florida. "Florida was the fastest-growing state in 2022, with an annual population increase of 1.9%, resulting in a total resident population of 22,244,823," the release said.
The Most Popular State to State Moves (as recorded by Elite Relocation Group in Q2 & Q3, 2022):
- New York Tri-state area to Florida
- New York Tri-state area to South Carolina
- New York Tri-state area to North Carolina
- New York Tri-state area to West Virginia
- New York Tri-state area to Kentucky
- New York Tri-state area to Alabama

"The key to a successful state to state move, as with any long-distance move, is to have a relocation partner you can count on," Michelle said. "You need a team of specialists who can ensure that your entire home arrives safely and on time, so you can begin your life in a new state stress-free and surrounded by everything you need. Long distance moves like these really shouldn't be a DIY project; there are too many moving parts and too much to do."
