Moving

It's no secret that a large number of Idahoans aren't fans of the rate at which the state is growing, particularly those driving moving trucks from California. New data suggests that those in the Gem State that have packed up and left for various reasons are heading west themselves.

MoneyWise recently created a list called The States Americans Are Leaving (And Where They Are Headed) — and Idaho is #9 on the list of where people are moving to. Shocker. Though, my personal opinion is that we should be much higher on that list. On my drive to work this morning, I feel like I hardly saw any Idaho plates haha!

You may be from Idaho and feel like you know a lot about the gem state. But how much do you really know? Test your knowledge with things specific to Idaho.
