South Dakota ranks among most popular states to move to
South Dakota ranks in the top five states where people are moving, according to a new study.
The report from the website Top10.com ranked South Dakota No. 5 for relocation, with a nearly 2 percent growth rate last year, adding 14,000 residents.

The site reported that South Dakota’s population is up 13 percent since 2010. The job growth rate at 2.7 percent is the fourth largest in the country.
“South Dakota’s low housing costs and no state income tax make it a desirable living place,” the report said. “The state’s stunning landscapes, like the Black Hills and Badlands, attract outdoor enthusiasts, offering a charm of small-town living and the allure of nature.”
The other top five states for relocation are Florida, Idaho, South Carolina and Texas.
The top five states people are leaving are New York, Illinois, Louisiana, West Virginia and Hawaii.
