Poll finds six in 10 Illinoisans considered moving to another state

By Cole Lauterbach:

Six in ten Illinoisans have thought about becoming ex-Illinoisans in the last year, according to a September poll conducted for the University of Illinois at Springfield.

“In 2018, a bit over half (53%) of respondents said they had considered moving out of Illinois in the previous 12 months,” the report said. “In 2019, this has risen to slightly more than six in ten (61%).”
