A little more than 86-hundred Nebraskans moved to Iowa from 2013 to 2014, making it the top migration state.

Texas and Missouri were a distant second and third on the list of where Nebraskans moved.

The data is in a new report from the Platte Institute.

Communications Director Adam Weinberg says the Institute is tracking the movement of people and money out of Nebraska to see what can be changed.

The Institute has also ranked Nebraska’s top five state competitors.

They are Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and Iowa.

Policy Director Sarah Curry says they made the ranking based on population and income flow to those states.

Curry says the Institute will be looking at policy differences between Nebraska and those five competitor states in the coming weeks.
