Roughly one in five Arizonans is moving out.
Jobs, school and interest in being closer to family or friends is drawing people away, according to a Gallup Poll released Wednesday.
It shows that 19 percent of adult Arizonans are somewhat to extremely likely to move out of state within the next 12 months. That is the second-highest rate behind Nevada at 20 percent.
By comparison, only 8 percent of adults living in Maine, Iowa and Vermont say they are likely to make an out-of-state move in the next year.
But Arizona is still growing. The state’s population was estimated at 6.6 million people in July, up 3.7 percent from three years earlier, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
