People are leaving Illinois in large numbers, so where is everyone moving to?Yes, it's true, people are getting sick of Illinois.

In December we reported that more people are leaving Illinois than any other state in the country. So, where are all the former Illinois residents moving to?

According to the Illinois Policy institute, the US Census Bureau's state-to-state migration data indicates the number one destination is the Hoosier State. Indiana gained nearly 20,000 people from Illinois. Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri also make the top six.

  3. Wisconsin gained 11,448
  4. Texas gained 10,208
