It is an Empire State in decay.
Beset by high taxes and quality of life issues, 545,498 New Yorkers moved to other states in 2022, according to US Census data.
Top destinations included Florida, the most popular choice, followed by New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, as well as more distant states such as Texas and California.
The exodus was partly offset by the fact that more people moved to the Empire State in 2022 than in any other year in the last decade, with 301,000 new residents making the transition.
Despite that rebound, New York still suffered a net population loss of 244,000 people.
The departures have not yet impacted New York City housing costs, and median rents continue to hover around post-COVID-19 all-time highs.
According to a recent report from real estate firm Elliman, median rents in Manhattan stood at $4,350 in September, up from $4,022 in the same period last year.

Trading snowfall for sunshine, more New Yorkers moved to Florida in 2022 than any other state, with 91,000 people making the switch.
After Florida, New Yorkers who fled opted for closer places: 75,000 moved to New Jersey, 50,670 to Connecticut and 44,000 to Pennsylvania.
California, which absorbed a net population decline of 342,000 in 2022, attracted 31,000 New Yorkers last year.

North Carolina, Massachusetts, Virginia and Georgia rounded out the top ten destinations.
Of the other 51 states, the least popular choices were Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, Mississippi and South Dakota, where fewer than 500 people moved from New York in 2022.
South Dakota was the least preferred, with only 52 people fleeing to the Mount Rushmore State last year.
