People flocking to low-tax states could swing future elections

by Jonathan Williams


Just a month ago, as friends and families prepared to gather for the holiday season, the men and women at the U.S. Census Bureau were busy releasing their latest annual estimates of population changes across the United States.

With the hustle and bustle of the season, many Americans missed the important new data. The new census estimates detail how states have grown since the last full census in 2010. The estimates provide some fascinating insight on what we can expect from the quickly approaching 2020 Census.

For those of us wonky enough to follow the annual trends in state-by-state migration, the numbers were an early Christmas gift.

A report I have authored with Arthur Laffer for the past decade, "Rich States, Poor States," has tracked this movement, as Americans “vote with their feet” across state lines. Our research provides policymakers timely data linking migration to state-level policy decisions and economic competitiveness.
 

In general, states that keep taxes low and provide a competitive business climate perform far better than the states that follow the tax-and-spend approach.

In terms of overall population changes over the past year, that finding is once again confirmed. The United States has grown to nearly 327 million residents, with highly competitive economies in Idaho, Nevada and Utah leading the way this past year in percentage growth.

It is important to note that overall population growth takes into account several factors, including: birth rates and death rates, international immigration and domestic migration. This data provides a key barometer for policymakers as states compete for the Americans who continue to “vote with their feet” and move from state to state for greater economic opportunity.

A very conservative couple that are friends from Connecticut have just put a deposit on a half acre in eastern Tennessee. They intend to move to TN in two years

Reasons for the move: family, taxes, politics, weather.

A lot of the "immigrants" are bringing their sloppy thinking with them, and voting for Dems in their new states, thus polluting what they came for.  In the first half of the 2010's, more than half the Reps in formerly conservative AZ were Democrats.

True, but Austin has always been that way.  I'm not saying that Libs aren't moving to TX, just that I think it's less than Conservatives that are moving to TX.

Austin has been a mess for years. It's one of the "Keep It Freaky" cities on the list.

Okay.  So sorry Mac.   I was confused as I found no prime rib or beef roast is complete without this perfect, but very simple, beef au jus made by my wife.

So Far after leaving TX they have yet to follow me to Florida.   But then we do have our own special kind of grapefruits over here.

It’s not just Austin proper, but each way up and down the I35 corridor and over to 281. Home prices are skyrocketing and the cities and counties are loving it for the additional property tax revenues.  Can’t find a decent house for under $300k anymore unless your a hundred miles from town.
