Top States People Are Leaving to Move to Maine

Okay I’m going to say it, Maine is trending. And no, I am not talking about the political climate, I am referring to the enticing climate.

Maine has been one of the most popular relocation spots in the United States and for us, it’s pretty easy to see why.

What are you drawn to here? It could be the coast, all the forests, our incredible people and tight hard working communities or even our slower pace of life.

Whatever pulls you to the pine tree state, it’s calling people from all over the country to drop everything and move here.

My family made the move from Pennsylvania to Maine and we haven’t looked back.

We love the peaceful lush forests, the moose, especially the ones my mom insists on chasing in her nightgown (don’t ask), and the people.

Oh! And let me also point out, our neighbors actually know your name here.

Real people are what makes up our state of Maine and my family wasn't the only ones who made the leap.

Others have followed, according to Business Insider, back in 2022-2023 population increased of 6,384. In 2023, 64% of moves to Maine were inbound and only 36% were moving out!

I won’t spoil the surprise and tell you which state tops the list of people moving to Maine, but I can give you a itty bitty sneak peek at some that are close!

New York ranks fifth, with 2,885 people making the move. Florida takes fourth place, sending 2,911 folks our way. And in third place? California, with a massive 3,552 people trading the West Coast sunshine for the wild beauty of Maine in 2022.
