Moving within vs moving out of Illinois

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

Moved Within IL
30%
Moved out of IL
70%

From a statistical point of view, the relocation scene in Illinois goes like this: 30% local moves vs. 70% interstate moves. So, more than half of the home movers have decided to move out of the state.

If you also plan to move out of state, remember that interstate moving requires much more careful planning and meticulous organization than moving locally. Do yourself a favor and start the preparation of your long-distance move with a good moving checklist.
