Moving Company Data Shows More People Moving Out Of Florida Than In

United Van Lines and Allied Van Lines, which track moves in and out of each state, confirm that through the first 11 months of this year, more people are heading out of the Sunshine State than moving in. Inbound shipments started to drop after several hurricanes hit the state in 2004 and 2005. The housing meltdown followed two years later. "Some people are moving out because they can't support the 'second housing' option," says Drew Klacik, policy analyst for Indiana University Center for Urban Policy and the Environment. "A lot of us who want to avoid the ice in Indiana and move to Florida, can't. It's harder and harder for people to sell their homes."
