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.

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.
Arizona
Total Outbound moves: 36.8%
Arizona is famous for its sunshine, striking desert landscape, and it's Grand Canyon national park. The weather makes it the perfect refuge for those who have faced too many freezing winters. It is a more affordable option than costly states like New York or California, with the cost of living just three percent above the national average.
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.
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.
Idaho
Total Outbound moves: 32.6%
Idaho's rugged landscape is breathtaking. Nature enthusiasts will be able to enjoy snow-capped mountains, canyons, and lakes. Its below-average cost of living will allow residents to make the most of their income and enjoy their lifestyles with less financial pressures.
Once again, Idaho is not for you if you are craving the excitement of a big city. There are no major metropolitan areas in the State. Taxwise, there are pros and cons. The state tax is six percent, and the state income tax is above seven percent, but Social Security is not taxed, and there are no inheritance or estate taxes.
