I agree. In fact, I didn't really like this video. The video maker's picks aren't particularly accurate or forthcoming. Some cities are a bit more violent than others -- but most are safe. There are some large cities that are very safe too. I live in Palo Alto, California. It's the heart of the Silicon Valley and the birthplace of major tech companies. Yet, it still feels like a small town. In California, cities like San Francisco to San Jose (the entire peninsula) are pretty safe -- even though crime has gone up because of changes in laws. Still, coastal cities like Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, Monterey/Carmel and Eureka are better. You can even buy affordable houses in places like McCloud, California (on the edge of Mt. Shasta) or South Lake Tahoe. Tennessee cities like Chattanooga, Knoxville and even Nashville are fantastic (although I prefer the suburbs outside the cities). I was raised in Virginia Beach. It was always a great city to grow up in and, more recently, I completed my college internships near it. I love cities in Texas like Corpus Christi, Waco, San Marcos and New Braunfels. They are safe, clean, inexpensive and offer plenty of activities.

@philipmcniel4908 - Good point. Really, it is the "rate" of crime or violence that people should consider. NY City used to be extremely violent. However, after Rudy Giuliani was elected, he passed sweeping reforms. Suddenly, NYC had a lower crime rate than many much smaller towns. Still, even the most violent cities in America aren't really THAT violent. They just have a higher rate of violence. Crime rates are usually measured by a rate of violence using the number of reported crimes per 100,000 residents. However, what these stats don't say are that many single incidents have multiple counts of violence. For instance, if someone is breaking into a car, damages the vehicle's window and encounters the owner, pushes him down and flees, flees from police and resists arrest, that one encounter might include five or six separate incidents of violence. Those are figured into the overall rate as independent instances (despite being one overall event by one suspect). I read somewhere that the shoplifting in New York City was very high -- but that there were less than 1,800 individuals committed much more massive numbers of shoplifting incidents. In fact, a third of ALL shoplifting incidents in NYC -- accounting for most store thefts -- were committed by just 327 people (according to the NY Times in April 2023). According to the Times, those 327 individuals had been arrested more than 6,000 times. The same is true of violence. Most violence -- apart from "crimes of passion" involving domestic issues -- happen at the hands of relatively small number of arrested individuals. Even the nefarious gun crime statistics are skewed by the fact that they happen primarily by the same individuals in the same relative areas -- by suspects who aren't legal owners of firearms (e.g., felons, gangs, stolen weapons, etc.). Like you said, most US cities are safe when you account for crimes primarily taking place in the same, less-safe areas and mostly by the same individuals in those areas.

The ranking here was based on the ratio of inbound moves to outbound moves. Vermont would never make the list if it were based on total numbers, since the entire state has the population of a medium-sized city. But it topped this list because hardly anybody moved *out* of the state, so the in-to-out ratio was high.

Yes, the title was extraordinarily misleading, it should’ve been titled “ratio of inbound to outbound moves” (which no one actually cares about). What people would assume from the title is that it’s a ranking of actual (net) numbers of where everyone is moving to. Let’s say 400,000 people in the US changed states. I want to know which states they moved to, ranked 1-10. This video is NOT that, which is of course no fault of the NZ family.

I think a lot of the moves in the USA, right now, are based more on financial, political, and work related reasons than any other choices. Which, if you think about it as a parent, you really are making the best choices you can for your family as a whole. My dad was a military lifer. We moved once every year or two. Every state or country has their own language or slang you had to learn to blend in. It's tough on the whole family unit. Imagine what these families are going through.

There are places that you can drive in Texas (on a highway) for a couple of hours without passing a single town. Tennessee has some amazing places that are still friendly and economical. Virginia has beaches, mountains and farmland. It's a lot like California in that aspect -- but with a longer history and politicians who aren't quite so...peculiar (like California).

My wife is a Real Estate agent in Washington State, and has helped a lot of clients sell their house to move out of state in the past year. Also she knows agents and has family in the Boise, Idaho area and that market has dried up, They built a LOT of developments but no one is moving there right now. The interest rates have raised so much nationwide that people in general with a good loan don't want to give it up to buy a new house and pay a much higher rate (we have a 3% rate but if we bought the same house now would be about 6.5%) We know agents in Boise that have had to hang up their license and move into another line of work. The problem with Boise even though its a nice city, is outside of its small metropolitan cities is that other than that there is nothing, like nothing nothing if you drive a half hour in any direction. I think the closest major city is Salt Lake City, Utah which is a 339-miles (545-km) drive away. With that being said if anyone needs to buy a Home in Washington State let me know.

No not Salt Lake. Not Utah, we are full. No one should come here, such an awful place. No no no 😂😂😂. I moved here from Oregon over 50 years ago. I love Oregon but it’s really gone down hill. Many western states are not liking Californians who are moving in. They Jack up real estate prices wherever they go. Plus they tend to want to bring the same policies with them that ruined their own state. That is a generalization I know. I know lots of great people from California. Utah is the second driest state in the nation with Nevada being the first. We really are getting to the point where we can’t provide for a much larger population. Water is a big issue. I hate seeing our farmland being built into subdivisions, apartments, and condos.

One things these lists often show, even when trying to be inclusive, is an ingrained bias against certain places and states. Like you guys have shared and commented before, we have so many states that are larger and more populated than entire countries. At the same time, people can't help to have a core feeling about states as a whole, same as they do for countries. Every state has better and worse places to live, and the differences can be stark between them. For an example: he mentioned people moving from other southern states to Alabama because of the average incomes in these states, but that's not where people are moving from when they come to Huntsville. Yes, the rest of Alabama's state averages pull it down, but Huntsville is consistently ranked as one of the top ten cities in the U.S. to live in, and it's even higher if you work in a STEM field. The whole city is based around aerospace, defense, biotech, etc. The people moving to Huntsville are mostly engineers, programmers, scientists, government employees and such...from all around the U.S. and the rest of the world. Same as a lot of states though, like how so many people picture all of NY to be NYC or all of California to be LA, it gets judged poorly based on stereotypes and averages rather than how each area actually is. Sorry for the rant, it just kind of frustrates me when I see entire countries, states, or regions reduced to stats as if that reflects every place in the region. (I could go off on more of these state lists, and more of the states on this list, but doubt anyone will read this far anyway) : )

Look at the politics of the major cities in those states and compare it to the crime. Also, more specifically for California, why would ANYONE want to move there under the constant threat of seceding from the union of the USA? Most people that make a big move across states think rationally about it and decide if it is worth the risk, as well if it is good for their family.

Idaho has the deepest river gorge, Hells Canyon, At its lowest, the Snake River sinks an astonishing 7,993 feet beneath the canyon rim, nearly 2,000 feet deeper than the “Grand” Canyon. Shoshone Falls is a must see attraction in Twin Falls, Idaho. At 212 feet tall (65 m) and 900 foot wide (274m), Shoshone Falls is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the US surpassing the height of the famous Niagara Falls. Shoshone Falls is some 45 feet (14 m) taller than Niagara. Being tucked into the Rocky Mountains, Idaho has thousands of Rivers and Lakes with many hiking trails throughout. A great state for a summer visit. Not forgetting the famed Craters of the Moon Preserve. Definitely worth the stop when visiting Idaho.

That was a year ago and boy have things have changed. I have lived in Texas for 20 years and love it! Texas has diverse landscapes, wildlife and weather depending on where you are in the state. It has a diverse population and the people are friendly and community and family oriented. There is so much to do here without leaving the state. Almost every town has a story and the entire state is rich with history. The neighboring states of Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico are also good places to visit. I'm originally from Michigan which is a beautiful state located in the Midwest of the United States in the Great Lakes region. I found that there is not much to do outside of touristy stuff. Plus, the winters are long and it can get bitterly cold. I lived in Alabama for 2 years which is also a very beautiful state but unless you are into hunting, fishing, shooting or gorging yourself on Southern food until you burst you have to go to neighboring states like Georgia or Tennessee to find things to do. I'm really looking forward to seeing your adventures when you all come to the states.😊😊

Certainly any inter-state move takes a lot of commitment and resources, as you found when you did it. There’s so much research that should be done before choosing a new home. Let’s talk Vermont. Yes, it offers beautiful views and woodlands. Outside of the larger cities, like Burlington, there isn’t much there. The small towns lack infrastructure. The winters are brutal. They don’t have sales tax, but trucking in supplies adds to the final cost. We researched the state, along with many others a couple years ago for retirement. It was almost immediately scratched from the list. Our final picks: Arizona, Nevada and Texas. All based on wanted amenities, cost of living, weather and leisure activities. We are in Southern California. The state that is bankrupting itself through taxes, AQMD and chasing out all businesses. My two cents …

Not sure why there was such a negative sentiment in his video toward Tennessee, but it’s not NEARLY what he described. I made the move to East Tennessee from Chicago during the summer of 2020-largely due to financial and political reasons-and it was the best decision I could have made. Let’s just say there was a LOT of reasons to move away from the third largest city in the country. Down South the people are super friendly, the food is delicious, properties are affordable, the government isn’t trying to control every aspect of your life, and, living midway between Nashville and Knoxville, the land is absolutely beautiful with lakes, mountains, waterfalls, stunning valleys, etc. You can live close to a bigger city for the convenience, yet still find a smaller, wholesome community to raise the kids. Anyhow, you’ve got a large US family over here ready to embrace y’all with open arms when you make your trip (maybe even a permanent trip perhaps? 🥰).

Here in sunny Southern California my friends have been moving to Tennessee and Arizona. What this video doesn’t tell you is Oregon is liberal. Portland is pretty much trying to dismantle their police department. Although a pretty state, I wouldn’t want to live with those old hippies. While Oregon is liberal you’ll find that people move to Florida for several seasons. One it’s a Mecca amusement park state and Disney just pulled out of moving a large portion of their business there because it’s more conservative. It has a large planned community called the Villages that is becoming very popular. Then the Amish have a very large community that winter and vacation there. Personally I love California but the cost of living, taxes and how liberal my state is is disappointing. I’m not sure I can afford to retire here. Because I have family in Arizona and the cost of living is better I’d move to Northern Arizona which doesn’t have the extreme heat like Phoenix. Many friend have move to Franklin, Tennessee and say, it’s a wonderful small town and similar to Orange County, California. If I really had to move I think I’d look for a beach city in Texas. Well because one Texas is more conservative and two they always threaten to leave the United States and be their own country and they don’t like political culture. Honestly I might just do it one day.

My family and I just moved to Austin, Texas and I love Austin but some regrets with the state itself. Main one, the electrical grid in Texas is awful. Within the first 3 months of moving into our new home we had an ice storm with -1 F degrees which I’m from Ohio so this was no big deal but the electricity was out for 5 days and our home’s temperature got down to 48 F inside the house. Texas solution “YOU buy solar panels to put on your house to help strengthen the grid” that a $30k loan on top of our mortgage. Second reason, a state with no income tax isn’t always the best. We did the math during tax season and we haven’t spent more on Government fees, (car registration, driver licenses, property tax, sales tax, etc) then we did in states with income tax. When we move again it will be to a state with income tax. Maybe Vermont!! 🎉 but in all seriousness I’d love to see a video on why you’d be wanting to leave NZ?

Great list! I’m a New England lover so I think the quality of life in any of the 6 states is better, however it can be expensive. CT & MA are quite expensive, and though the video said NH was expensive, it’s more affordable than those two, AND it is one of only a few states where you don’t pay taxes on retirement income. That makes it better than VT for me. So we will be headed for NH from MA in coming years. New England is relatively compact compared to the wide open west of the US so relatives are all 2-3 hours away max. Many people from the Northeast move to SC and FL because of our winter weather but I love it. I have to agree with the list in that South Dakota is pretty amazing; one of the best places I’ve visited. If you ever want to check out New England feel free to reach out for some tips :).

In 2020 we seen our most increase for population. Than it decreased in '21 and '22. Guess people should really visit our state in the winter before moving here, to decide if they can handle our cold. 😁😆

@gbecks3672 yes, a friend of mine is in Afton, works in St Paul. Other than work, rarely goes into the city. I felt bad for that, but then realized it's gone downhill

New England can get pretty cold in the winter. Inflation has hit America hard too. Oregon is a beautiful place but it has its own problems The thing with Gulf states is that there are often quite a few tornadoes. They can have tornadoes year round. Florida cam get really hot in the summer. A lot of people will spend the winter in florida and then go back to their home state in the summer. Places like South Dakota and those states can get really cold in the winter. It's pretty typical for them to have lots of snow so much a lot of times that you don't see ground until Spring comes.

Love the East Coast from Virginia south to Florida. Looking to move to Florida as our adult children have both moved there for jobs and love it. Their quality of life is incredible. I would watch a few other of these types of videos because I don’t think this one was totally accurate.

I can't wait to see your personal opinions of the United States. I think that video you just reacted to was highly based off of personal opinion. There is so much more to each state than the party/big city life styles. I can not wait to see you reacting to America from a first hand perspective. I love your videos! Love your family! Great job!

I am surprised to see some states on this list, especially Oregon. So far 12 Oregon counties have voted to secede from Oregon to become part of Idaho (Greater Idaho movement). Those 12 counties comprise over 50% of the state's land mass but only 9% of the population. Two more counties are set to vote on this next year. Most people are fleeing high taxed state to states with low taxes.

Yes, the parts of Oregon wanting to join Idaho are heavily conservative with small populations. Idaho being a 'red' state is a draw for them. Never going to happen.

I mean they could just do like so many others and move to Idaho if they wanna live there so badly.

My wife and I are visiting New Zealand this December! Can’t wait to see all that New Zealand has to offer. We live just outside of Portland and love taking day trips to the coast and mountains. We have 2 extra bedrooms in our house if you are stopping by on your trip!

I live in Alabama. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. That guy who made that video is so ignorant saying Huntsville is the only city that isn't terrible. 🙄 I love y'all's videos.

I was born and lived in Georgia for most of my life. I moved to California for work and lived there 8 years. I now live in Texas. I like it here.Thinking about moving back to Georgia to be with family. I work in customer service and I have spoke to a lot of people who left California when I did in 2020. It was so bad you couldn’t take UHauls out of California. A lot of it had to do with the severe lockdown. My family said Georgia really didn’t close.

Dice up some medium cooked (not crispy but not to chewy either) bacon and toss it in the mix as well
