Why would anyone want to leave Colorado?
It’s almost unconscionable to think that someone would want to move out of this beautiful state, and yet they do. In fact, Colorado’s in-migration numbers have dropped significantly as some individuals have chosen to move out of the state for other areas, one of which is the great state of Texas more commonly known as the Lone Star State. Thus, what is this migration out of Colorado based on? There are 3 key factors that are driving people out of the state:
- high housing costs
- low wages
- traffic congestion in metro areas
While the majority of Colorado movers are headed for the Northwest (Washington State), a significant number are moving from Colorado to Texas, many of whom have already let All American Movers handle their moving needs.
