Illinois Still Losing Taxpayers to Outmigration, New Study Shows
- Andrew Wilford, director at NTUF, released a report this week showing Illinois continues losing taxpayers due to outmigration.
- The report attributes this trend primarily to tax-and-spend policies and tax rates driving residents from high-tax to low-tax states.
- Additional factors influencing migration include family, weather, housing, education, transportation, employment, and cost of living, while remote work boosts movement freedom.
- Wilford noted that Illinois, California, and New York are expected to see a total loss of $10 billion in tax income this year, whereas Florida is anticipated to gain an additional $4.2 billion due to new residents moving in.
- The report warns states that ignore these trends will face population decline and revenue loss, urging tax reforms to retain residents and attract businesses for long-term growth.
