Moving within vs moving out of Ohio

Let's see how many people move within Ohio versus those who moved from Buckeye State to another state.

Moved Within OH
30%
Moved out of OH
70%

When it comes to the state of Ohio, statistical data show that much more Ohioans have chosen to move out of the state than to stay within its boundaries. Percentage-wise, local moves (30%) are twice as little as interstate moves (70%).

Even the lure of great cities such as Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati has not managed to hold all the Buckeyes who have made up their minds to prepare and execute an interstate move. Of course, organizing a cross-country move is always hard so the role of a reputable cross-country mover is crucial in such relocation cases.
