Illinois

Here I am starting to present comments on Northeastern or presumptively Northeastern states in alphabetical order. That means starting with Illinois, which, though it would not be my personal first choice, should have room for quite a few people. My assumption is that most migrants will be working-class people, or younger white-collar workers, who lack huge savings and will need to get a job or set up independent work quickly. Therefore, as previously noted, my criteria for identifying promising migration destinations in each state emphasize moderate population size (neither too giant nor too small), reasonable cost of living, and reasonable unemployment rate. If these things don’t concern you, your top few choices might be extremely different from mine and you had better do your own research!

Alabama

As noted before, I’ll be presenting Southeastern states in alphabetical order as well. That means starting with Alabama, which is a bit unfortunate since I have very few potential destinations to recommend in that state. While you know that I wouldn’t personally care to end up in any Christian nationalist region, some of the Southeastern states are in much better shape than others, and Alabama has a generally weaker economy and fewer opportunities. That said, it would have room to accept some migrants. In smaller towns these might best be mostly people with local ties and/or those who have a way to make a locally suitable independent living and actually improve the economy rather than just filling an existing job-role.
