(The Center Square) \u2013 Illinois is again near the bottom of a list of a moving company\u2019s report showing one-way trucks moving out.<\/p>\n

U-Haul\u2019s Growth Index report for 2022 shows moving traffic slowed throughout the country but remained busy in Illinois. Only behind California, U-Haul shows Illinois at 49th for a third year in a row, indicating the largest net losses of one-way trucks moving out.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo-it-yourself movers arriving in Illinois accounted for 49.3% of all one-way U-Haul truck traffic in and out of the state (50.7% departures),\u201d the\u00a0report<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0said. \u201cCalifornia ranks 50th and Illinois 49th for the third year in a row, indicating those states saw the largest net losses of one-way U-Haul trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U-Haul report is on top of U.S. Census\u00a0estimates<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0released last month showing more than 110,000 people moving out of Illinois.<\/p>\n

While saying the state can always do more to attract more people, state Sen. Steve Stadelman, D-Rockford, said the population losses are just estimates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to sit and argue facts and figures and you\u2019re dealing with estimates and projections, so who\u2019s right, who\u2019s wrong,\u201d Stadelman told The Center Square Wednesday. \u201cIt just depends on what data you want to look at and how you want to try and manipulate data for a political agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Incoming House Minority Leader Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, said those denying the state\u2019s population decline need to \u201cfollow the science.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are losing people, there\u2019s no ifs, and, buts about that,\u201d McCombie told The Center Square. \u201cThe sooner we admit that and start tackling the policies for the reason, then we\u2019re going to see some positive changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The state’s high taxes and strict regulatory environment, corruption in government and cold weather are seen as the main drivers of outmigration.<\/p>\n

There is some consensus among elected officials from both sides of the aisles on what to do about the population decline.<\/p>\n

State Rep. Rita Mayfield, D-Waukegan, sees seniors from her community moving to warmer climates.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut a lot of them have basically stated \u2018hey, I\u2019d stay here if my taxes could get reduced a little bit further,\u201d Mayfield told The Center Square. \u201cSo I do think we need to provide some type of property tax relief for our seniors so that we can keep them in their homes and keep them in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Illinois has among the highest property taxes in the country, ranking second behind only New Jersey in many studies.<\/p>\n

State Rep. Adam Niemerg, R-Dieterich, said he sees a lot of help wanted signs in his community and the equation is simple \u2013 keep workers from finding better jobs in other states.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter public policy, lower taxes and give businesses a reason to open here in the state of Illinois,\u201d Niemerg told The Center Square.<\/p>\n
