While an exact total for 2025 is not yet available, data from early 2025 indicates a continued trend of households leaving New York, with one study showing 59% of moves were outbound in 2024 and another noting New York is one of the most abandoned states. A 2024 United Van Lines National Movers Study found that 59% of New York's movers were moving out of state, a trend that is continuing in 2025.
2024 Outbound Moves: A United Van Lines study reported that 59% of moves from New York were outbound, placing it among the top states for outbound migration.
Continued Trend: This 2024 data is a continuation of a trend seen in previous years, where a significant portion of movers left the state.
High Outbound Percentage: While 2025 data is incomplete, the high percentage of outbound moves in 2024 suggests a continued high number of household departures into 2025.
Reasons
for Moving: Common reasons for leaving include the high cost of living and
seeking more affordable markets.
Impact:
The outflow of residents, particularly high earners, has significant economic implications for the state.
Specific statistics on how many households left New York in 2025 are not yet available. Data on migration is typically released by the US Census Bureau with a time lag and is not based on the "household" metric. However, multiple 2025 reports indicate that New York continues to experience a net loss of residents, largely driven by domestic out-migration.
Available 2025 data and trends
NYC population growth (net): New York City's population grew by 87,000 residents between July 2023 and July 2024, but this was primarily due to international migration, which offset domestic out-migration. This shows that while more people left the city for other parts of the U.S., the overall population still increased from outside the country.
State population change (net): A September 2025 projection estimated a 1.4% population decrease for New York State from 2020 to 2025, indicating a continued net outflow.
Outbound vs. inbound moves: A January 2025 report based on data from national moving company Atlas Van Lines confirmed that New York was one of the states with the highest percentage of outbound moves in 2024.
Drivers of migration: The primary reasons for leaving include high housing costs and the cost of raising a family. Families with young children and lower- to middle-income families are most likely to leave, with 90% of the state's population loss coming from New York City.
Destinations: Florida remains a top destination for former New Yorkers, particularly retirees. Many residents leaving New York City also moved to neighboring suburbs or states like New Jersey.

New
York City first became a sanctuary city in 1989 through an executive order
signed by Mayor Ed Koch. This policy was later reissued and expanded upon
by subsequent mayors, with additional city laws in 2014 further limiting the
city's cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

Comments
The population decline in 1980 was the result of poor city leadership. The rise in population in 1990 was due to effective policies to clean up NYC. The further rise in population from 2000 to 2024 was due to excessive immigration of low earners from other countries. The massive increase in the supply of unskilled labor created a decrease in wages.
