Moving within vs moving out of Oregon

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

Moved Within OR
29%
Moved out of OR
71%

Statistics show that 29% of all moves originating in Oregon have been local, with 71% of those household moves being interstate – that is, to another U.S. state.

Whether moving out of Portland (the most populous city in the state) or another place in Oregon, Oregonians seem to have chosen another state as their final destination. Cross-country moves can be rather challenging, so partnering with a reliable long-distance mover is highly recommended.
