The dry heat of Arizona is almost impossible to bear during the summer, with temperatures in some places reaching between 104 and 107 degrees Fahrenheit.

South Dakota
Total Outbound moves: 42.6%
The State famous for Mount Rushmore was ranked as one of the most tax-friendly states by Kiplinger. South Dakota is not only affordable but incredibly scenic. With many trails and views of mountains and prairies to enjoy.
North Dakota is not ideal for those who don't like icy weather and blizzards. It is incredibly rural, with no big cities insight, and is one of the least populated states in the nation. City lovers should probably go elsewhere.
Wyoming
Total Outbound moves: 44.7%
The Equality State was rated fifth in fiscal health out of all fifty states by the Mercatus Center, which is pretty impressive. But Wyoming is not a good fit for city folk.
If you don't love nature, you won't find much to do there. It also has one of the smallest populations in America at 577,737, with no big cities to be located. It is impossible, however, to ignore the natural beauty of the State.
Pennsylvania
Total Outbound moves: 51.2%
Pittsburgh is the best city in America to settle down in, according to Forbes. You can get almost anywhere on foot or by bike, and there is a high number of doctors per capita. The State of Pennsylvania also has reasonably priced healthcare.
Pennsylvania's budget is not well balanced, which makes its future financial policies unclear. States that are economically unstable, may raise taxes, which could affect residents.
