Alaska - 56% Outbound Rate

This one really shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Alaska is one of the most pristine and beautiful places in the world, but it's also very tough to live in. The winters are harsh, and there are few jobs. A lot of people who work in tourism in Alaska are just seasonal workers who come in for a couple of months to make some money and then leave for home.

A lot of locals are also moving out of the state, whether to find better jobs, more social opportunites, or just for warmer weather. Alaska is experiencing some of the highest rates of outward migration in the country.
