Sales tax was something that I neglected to bring up for Illinois as well.

There's a base state rate of 6.25%, but local governments (county, city) are allowed to raise that another whopping 4.75% on top of that. Cook County, home of Chicago, is typically the highest in the state. My bro and my dad live where it's 10.5%.

Conversely, there is a flat 7% sales tax rate in Indiana. No local governments are allowed to raise this.

In addition to all of this, like in Wisconsin, unprepared food is not taxed in many parts of Indiana, although some local governments do tax it either 1 or 2%. NWI Lake County does not tax at all on food. However, ALL food is taxed at the local rate in Illinois (At least 6.25%, but as much as 11%).




EDIT: Regarding that last paragraph... Seems that the law on food tax in Illinois changed in the decade plus since I lived out of the state, likely in tandem with the original rate hikes, or later on to combat their severe impact on those living under the poverty level but not poor enough to be on food stamps (where there is no sales tax).

The full 6.25% is not charged by the state for food. It's only 1%. However, the local governments are still allowed to further tax it another 4.75% on top of that, for a maximum food sales tax of 5.75%.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Does Tax on "grocery" (aka unprepared food) still vary from County to County? I knew many States have different levels of Taxation on necessities, but I had assumed it was Statewide, yes or no. Hadn't really paid attention. I do believe WI is all Counties the same, no Tax on "grocery" and that rule unchanged for many Decades.


This is another example of local representation, rules made by the State, which supports State's Rights, not subject to Federal Regs. The people of the State decide/vote how they want to be screwed.
This is an important factor in some discussions of switching from Federal Income Tax to Consumption Tax. What would the Tax be applied to, what Consumption? Well, obviously, whatever the prevailing rules on Taxation were for each State. If State includes basic necessities like grocery in it's Tax Base, then the Consumption Tax would apply to that, for that State. This also makes the local or State level Elected Official more responsive to the Voter - you don't like paying 15% Consumption Tax on your grocery, you need to straighten out your State Legislature, vote in somebody with sense.
If the expenditures of poor folk such as grocery, bare housing, bare medical, basic education, mass transit are rendered untaxable, then truly poor folk become essentially untaxed. And if they feel the urgent need to be Taxed, they can purchase a Luxury Item, and pay the Tax just like anybody else.
If the State deems an item or category as Taxable, then that would be the rule for the Federal Government to apply the Consumption Tax. This makes the collection system truly piggyback - just include the Consumption Tax on each item already being processed with an existing Tax, no need for any monstrosity of administration to collect with - and IRS can wither away, not just shift function. And the IRS Budget and expense goes away, for even more Taxpayer's saving.




Anyway, back to second's claims. Do you see how the numbers he is claiming are really represented in the way you have laid out the actual numbers for IL and IN? Or are his numbers complete Manure? I cannot reconcile his numbers with any known reality, didn't know if you could.

ST. LOUIS – Jan. 2, 2019 – Americans are on the move, relocating to western and southern parts of the country. The results of United Van Lines’ 42nd Annual National Movers Study, which tracks customers’ state-to-state migration patterns over the past year, revealed that more residents moved out of New Jersey than any other state in 2018, with 66.8 percent of New Jersey moves being outbound. The study also found that the state with the highest percentage of inbound migration was Vermont (72.6 percent), with 234 total moves. Oregon, which had 3,346 total moves, experienced the second highest percentage nationally, with 63.8 percent inbound moves.

States in the Mountain West and Pacific West regions, including Oregon, Idaho (62.4 percent), Nevada (61.8 percent), Washington (58.8 percent) and South Dakota (57 percent) continue to increase in popularity for inbound moves. In tune with this trend, Arizona (60.2 percent) joined the list of top 10 inbound states in 2018.

Several southern states also experienced high percentages of inbound migration, such as South Carolina (59.9 percent) and North Carolina (57 percent). United Van Lines determined the top reasons for moving south include job change (46.6 percent) and retirement (22.3 percent).

In the Northeast, however, an outbound moving trend continues. New Jersey (66.8 percent), Connecticut (62 percent) and New York (61.5 percent) were included among the top 10 outbound states for the fourth consecutive year. Midwestern states like Illinois (65.9 percent), Kansas (58.7 percent), Ohio (56.5 percent) and Iowa (55.5 percent) saw high outbound relocation as well.

“As the nation’s largest household goods mover, our study allows us to identify the most and least popular states for residential relocation throughout the country, year after year,” said Eily Cummings, director of corporate communications at United Van Lines. “These findings accurately reflect not only where Americans are moving to and from, but also the reasons why.”

The National Movers Study reveals the business data of inbound and outbound moves from 2018. In addition to this study, United Van Lines also conducts a survey to find out more about the reasons behind these moves. A leading motivation behind these migration patterns across all regions is a career change, as the survey showed approximately one out of every two people who moved in the past year moved for a new job or company transfer. Other reasons for the high percentage of moves to the Mountain West in 2018 include retirement (28.1 percent), proximity to family (20.8 percent) and lifestyle change (19.4 percent). Compared to all other states, Idaho saw the largest influx of new residents desiring a lifestyle change (25.95 percent), and more people flocked to New Mexico for retirement than any other state (42.74 percent).

“The data collected by United Van Lines aligns with longer-term migration patterns to southern and western states, trends driven by factors like job growth, lower costs of living, state budgetary challenges and more temperate climates,” said Michael Stoll, economist and professor in the Department of Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Unlike a few decades ago, retirees are leaving California, instead choosing other states in the Pacific West and Mountain West. We’re also seeing young professionals migrating to vibrant, metropolitan economies, like Washington, D.C. and Seattle.”

Moving In

The top inbound states of 2018 were:

Vermont
Oregon
Idaho
Nevada
Arizona
South Carolina
Washington
North Carolina
South Dakota
District of Columbia

New to the 2018 top inbound list are Arizona at No. 5 and District of Columbia at No. 10, with 60.2 percent and 56.7 percent inbound moves, respectively.

Moving Out

The top outbound states for 2018 were:

New Jersey
Illinois
Connecticut
New York
Kansas

So the answer might be no. The closest to regaining seats are MO and IA. Even if CA drops 7 seats, other States will either gain a Seat or retain one on the verge of loss.


Something I wonder about NY, IL, PA, MI: are they losing population from the Cities and cesspools, or from the real communities?


Also, being in WI, I notice MN, MI, IA, IL are losing Seats. Hmmmm. WI and IN did lose a Seat in 2000.

Something I didn't really point out: one-time events do not help the accuracy of extrapolating Projection, so if Alabama does not suffer another catastrophic hurricane before the Census, it might not lose a Seat, and then CA would lose 1.
Regarding the new info from Van Lines Study, doesn't seem to greatly change the projections. OR is not in danger of gaining a Seat this decade, nor VT. The States on the verge of gaining or losing a Seat remain CA and MT. KS keeps churning out offspring, so is unlikely to lose a Seat - there are at least 17 other States more likely to drop a Seat before getting to KS.

The article I read just before making that edit said that the "grocery" tax varies from area to area based off of what the local taxes on the unprepared food was. The only constant was that the state itself only charged 1% on unprepared food, but the local (county/city) taxes could raise it the same 4.75% that they can raise the sales tax on any other goods.

Actually, you answered a question of mine without me even asking it. I was wondering if the 0% tax on food was state-wide or if I just lucked out when I lived there. Good to hear they don't tax it anywhere there.

Yep. Another example would be how when the state of Indiana made the Constitutional amendment to cap the property tax at 1%, they did see an increase in the overall sales tax at the same time. (I'm not sure what it was before that, as this all happened before I moved out here). It didn't faze me to pay 7%. That's actually the amount that sales taxes were the entire time I lived in Illinois growing up. It was only after I moved out that they raised them.

Illinois is broke. Their sugar drink tax backfired miserably, and was made even worse when people on food stamps didn't have to pay the tax when it's ridiculous that you can even by Pepsi with something that has "Nutritional" in the acronym. It's not at all surprising that they haven't removed soda like they did cigarettes and alcohol when you know that 10% of all grocery store purchases are made on food stamps and our politician's Overlords at the CocaCola company and PepsiCo would frown heavily upon that.

Now they're looking to either raise the vehicle license plate yearly fee by $500 or put a 30 cent increase on gas taxes to replace it.

I'd be on board with that. But that's really easy for me to say. Other than food, I don't consume all that much. I made $12,500 last year (gross) and put around $6,000 of it in the bank. If I were to have avoided paying any income tax or sales tax on 90% of my purchases, I would probably have banked close to another $1,000. Add around another $1,000 if I didn't have to pay social security on any of it.

100% in agreement here.

It's one of the things I really appreciate about the vehicle tax and how that's set up in Indiana. If somebody wants to buy a brand new Toyota, they offset my property taxes by paying nearly $600 for their license that first year and it's pretty hefty the first 3-4 years after that

Also, being in WI, I notice MN, MI, IA, IL are losing Seats. Hmmmm. WI and IN did lose a Seat in 2000.

Regarding my question here, I see Detroit had an estimated loss of Population of 36,000 from 2010 to 2015. Check one for the cesspools.

ChicagoLand MSA was 9.46 million in 2010, up to 9.53 million estimated in 2013, down to 9.47 million estimated in 2015. Check another one for the cesspools. Extrapolation from 2013 to 2015 indicates about 9.38 million for 2018. This loss of 80,000 from 2010 to 2018 accounts for almost all of the 90,000 loss for the entire State.

NYC was 8.175 million in 2010, and estimated 8.622 million in 2017. Extrapolation of this data indicates about 8.814 by 2020. NYC is very overoptimistic about its Population growth, and ignores the year 2020, while focusing on 2030. This estimated Population growth of 511,000 for the City proper (2010-2018) compares to 164,000 for the whole State - implying 347,000 of NY State have left, but from outside NYC. I'm not familiar with the area, but this seems implausible.

Philadelphia (County) had 1.526 million in 2010, and 1.580 million estimated in 2017. Extrapolates for 1.588 million in 2018. Philadelphia MSA had 5.965 in 2010 and 6.096 million estimated in 2017.
Pittsburgh had 305,000 in 2010 and 302,000 estimated in 2017.
PA had Population growth of 104,000 from 2010 to the 2018 estimate. With Philly and Pitt combining for 59,000 of growth, these 2 cesspools are doing their share of holding back the State's Population growth.

So, 4 cesspools are the confirmed cause of loss, and NYC has highly suspect claims of Population and growth.

Total Moves: 3,285
Percentage Moving Out: 54.5%
Population: 5,795,500
Median Household Income: $58,550
Job Growth (2018): 1.2%

Wisconsin’s economy is driven by manufacturing, agriculture and healthcare. The state is also the nation’s leading producer of cheese. The job outlook has improved dramatically to roughly the U.S. average, versus No. 49 earlier in the decade.


9. Utah

Total Moves: 2,118
Percentage Moving Out: 55.7%
Population: 3,101,800
Median Household Income: $68,731

Utah is well known for its winter activities and tourism has soared since the 2002 Winter Olympics. With two-thirds of Utahns being members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state in the U.S.



8. Kentucky

Total Moves: 2,837
Percentage Moving Out: 56%
Population: 4,454,200
Median Household Income: $47,974
Job Growth (2018): 0.6%

Kentucky is best known for its horse racing, bourbon distilleries, automobile manufacturing, tobacco and college basketball. Horse racing is a $4 billion industry in the state and the Kentucky Derby Run for the Roses generates more than $400 million annually in economic impact for Kentucky. The state has more than 500 motor vehicle-related facilities that employ 100,000 workers.



7. Ohio

Total Moves: 6,684
Percentage Moving Out: 56.2%
Population: 11,658,600
Median Household Income: $54,106
Job Growth (2018): 1.4%

Manufacturing and financial services account for the largest sectors of Ohio’s $684 billion gross state product. The state is home to 49 of the 1,000 largest public and private companies in the U.S.



6. Massachusetts

Total Moves: 4,567
Percentage Moving Out: 56.3%
Population: 6,859,800
Median Household Income: $79,203
Job Growth (2018): 1.6%

Massachusetts’ business costs, including labor, energy and taxes, are the highest of the 48 contiguous states—only Hawaii is higher—at 19% above the national average. The Bay State benefits from a host of top-notch universities dumping thousands of highly educated graduates into its labor supply each year. Massachusetts ranks fourth on quality of life thanks to the state’s strong schools, bountiful arts and recreation opportunities, a healthy populous and a plethora of top-rated colleges.



5. Kansas

Total Moves: 2,370
Percentage Moving Out: 56.7%
Population: 2,913,100
Median Household Income: $56,823
Job Growth (2018): 1.4%

With several large aircraft corporations operating out of Kansas—including Boeing, Cessna, Learjet and Spirit AeroSystems—the state’s economy is heavily influenced by the aerospace industry. Kansas offers one of the best business incentive packages of programs in the country and the state scores points for its pro-business regulatory climate, which is tops in the nation, according to the Cato Institute.



4. Connecticut

Total Moves: 2,866
Percentage Moving Out: 57.1%
Population: 3,588,200
Median Household Income: $75,923

Income inequality is huge in Connecticut, with the disparity most pronounced when comparing southern towns like New Canaan and Greenwich with Hartford, the state’s capital. Business costs are 10% higher than the national average, due in part to energy costs that are 62% higher. The Nutmeg State rates fifth overall in quality of life thanks to low crime and poverty rates, a healthy populous and strong schools. But the regulatory climate and fiscal health rank among the worst in the nation.



3. New York

Total Moves: 8,381
Percentage Moving Out: 60.6%
Population: 19,849,400
Median Household Income: $64,888

The Moving Out list seems vastly different from other lists of this type, and seems to of different format than the Moving In list.
I will try to add some data at the end of each entry of Moving Out list, the published list ends each entry at the end of the paragraph.
I have no idea where the Population figures from the story came from.
