Utah - 51.7% Outbound Rate

Utah saw a surge of people moving into the state during the early 2010s, but that trend has slowed down drastically since. Now, a large number of people are leaving the state for more opportunities elsewhere. Utah has some of the best national parks in the nation, but it doesn't have a lot of options when it comes to good-paying jobs, especially in more rural areas where they're needed most.

The state's growth has slowed down a lot, but that doesn't mean that it's destined to become North Dakota, and there's still plenty to do and enough jobs to keep people tempted to stay in the cities.
