What's the cheapest state to move to?

Question

JimmyQ · Accepted Answer

Everyone I know is moving or plans to move to Florida and here is why;

This state has no income tax, which is very attractive, especially for young families.

The cost of housing in Florida is much lower compared to the rest of the country.

The cost of living in Florida is lower compared to other states.

Florida has several world famous beaches and outdoor attractions.

It doesn’t snow in winter and it’s mostly warm year round.

Local residents receive discounts to some popular local attractions.

A growing number of retirement communities are found in Florida.

The average amount of daylight is about 2 hours more than the rest of the country.

The housing market is booming with high paying jobs.

But if you are young and want to tough it out in Nebraska, go work the oil fields. A lot of people are getting rich there I'm told.

Without doing any research and just from what I know about economy and realestate I would guess that's Mississippi would be one of the cheapest. I wouldn't be shocked if places like Iowa also were super cheap I used to live in one of the most expensive States and now I live in 1 of the bottom 10 States that being said it's certainly not the cheapest but I weighed many options such as being close to family

Almost any southeast or south-central red state will be cheap as far as taxes go, housing in rural areas is often less than cities because there's few/no jobs, so people can't really live there and support themselves. However there's usually less services in those 'cheap' areas to go along with the lower costs.

Dont expect to find consistently good roads and schools if there's no tax base. Or if the income taxes are low, the property and sales taxes are often higher. Its like one of those triangle problems where the optimal equilateral triangle is an impossibility.

I think it’s New Mexico, but generally, the cheaper it is the worst it is.

The deep South like in Mississippi or Tennessee. But I wouldn't move there. I want to move to Austin Texas later on. Arizona is also a good and cheap state.

Southern Texas (plagued by low literacy rates) around Brownsville or McAllen. Also Oklahoma.
