Rhode Island - 49.2% Outbound Rate

There's only so much area to go around in Rhode Island, and it was bound to have a couple of down years after years of population growth.

Still, with such a great track record, it's hard to see the state suffering from too many years of a high number of people leaving, so long as nothing drastic happens.
