According to 2019 data, Pennsylvania residents who are moving out of the state are showing a preference for Florida, per a new report by Stacker.

Stacker analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data to compile its list of where people in Pennsylvania move to the most. States were ranked based on the number of Pennsylvanians relocating there in 2019.

The Sunshine State ranked first, with 34,965 residents trading our Eastern Hemlock trees for palms. This migration southward represents 13.6 percent of all Pennsylvanians who moved from the Keystone State that year.

Next on the list is New York, which was chosen by 22,641 people for a new home. New Jersey came in third place, with 22,445 people.

Ohio was fourth with 16,792 people; Maryland placed fifth, with 14,376.

North Carolina, California, Virginia, Texas, and Delaware rounded out the Top 10.

Meanwhile, Delaware and New Jersey are the states from which residents relocated in the other direction, calling Pennsylvania their new home in 2019.

Pennsylvania was the second choice for people moving from Maryland and the third most common destination after Ohio and New York.
