Maine - 50.6% Outbound Rate

Like a lot of its neighbors, Maine is suffering from rising costs, and both seniors and young people are leaving the state for warmer climates and better jobs. Despite that, it's still a beautiful place to live, with miles of picturesque coastline and some of the best seafood in the country. Unfortunately, you need to have money to enjoy all of that, and there aren't enough good jobs to go around.

Maine is still in better shape than some of its neighbors, mostly because it's a large state, and there are usually some places you can find where prices haven't risen too much.
