Moving within vs moving out of Pennsylvania

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

Moved Within PA
27%
Moved out of PA
73%

From a statistical point of view, 27% of all moves in Pennsylvania have been local while 73% of them have been interstate ones – that is, to another U.S. state.

It looks like the majority of Pennsylvanians have moved out of Philadelphia or another big city in the state in search of a better home, a better job, or a better life in general. It’s important to remember that any cross-country move should begin with accurate moving cost estimation performed after an in-home survey.

The Public Utility Commission is the authority that regulates the moving companies in Pennsylvania. According to PA Public Utility Commission, household carriers have to comply with certain safety and insurance rules in order to acquire the proper license.
