"The great migration during the pandemic has seen Americans flee high-tax Democrat-run states and flock to Republican-led low-tax or no-income-tax states, a study by The Tax Foundation found.
'People move to states with low-income tax for a multitude of reasons, sometimes it's the most direct and obvious reason that it reduces their own tax liability,' the vice president of state projects at the Tax Foundation, Jared Walczak, told
Yahoo.
'Especially now that people have more capacity to move where they want, that will be a higher priority for some,' he added.
The analysis contrasted data from the US Census Bureau released last year, along with commercial datasets released this week by U-Haul and United Van Lines.
Low or no-personal-income states such as Utah, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina, Delaware, Texas, Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina all saw population gains of 1 percent or more.
Meanwhile, District of Columbia and New York - the only two to raise personal income taxes in 2021 - shrunk significantly in population."
