The annual United Van Lines tally of who is moving where finds that L.A. had more outbound traffic in 2007 than inbound - 55 percent to 45 percent. The findings were similar in OC (HT to the Register's Jon Lansner). Statewide outbounders edged inbounders, with 50.8 percent – that’s the lowest outbound percentage in five years - although you have to wonder whether the prospect of major cuts in government services might lead to a few more departures this year and next. Nationally, the South was the top migration spot in 2007 (and North Carolina the top state), while Michigan was the state with the most outbounders (North Dakota was runner-up). So where did most folks from L.A. move to? According to the United Van Lines numbers, it's Texas (strong economy, cheaper housing). Inbounders were spread across a bunch of states, including NY, Texas and Illinois, as you might expect.
