Boston, Massachusetts ranked 7th on PODS' list of U.S. cities/regions with the highest number of move-outs in their 2026 Moving Trends Report (released May 27, 2026). It moved up one spot from 8th in the 2025 report.

PODS bases this on real customer data for net long-distance moves (primarily container moves) from January 2025 through March 2026. The report highlights outbound migration from high-cost coastal and major metro areas toward more affordable Sun Belt locations.

Top 10 Cities/Regions with Highest Move-Outs (2026)
1. Los Angeles, CA (1st in 2025)
2. South Florida (Miami area) (3rd in 2025)
3. Northern California (San Francisco area) (2nd in 2025)
4. Washington, D.C. (14th in 2025)
5. Long Island, NY (parts of NYC) (4th in 2025)
6. Central Jersey, NJ (6th in 2025)
7. Boston, MA (8th in 2025)
8. Hudson Valley, NY (9th in 2025)
9. Chicago, IL (7th in 2025)
10. San Diego, CA (5th in 2025)

California dominates the outbound list again (with seven cities/regions in the broader top 20), followed by other high-cost Northeast and Midwest areas.

Broader Context from the ReportMain driver: Affordability overtook career opportunities as the top reason for moving (58% of survey respondents in PODS' Moving Mindset Study cited it). Community/connection ranked second (41%). Many movers prioritize staying near support networks over higher-paying jobs elsewhere.

Inbound trends: Sun Belt areas (especially Florida and Tennessee, tied for most represented states) dominate move-ins. Myrtle Beach, SC–Wilmington, NC, held the #1 spot for the fourth year, with Ocala, FL at #2.

Why Boston? The report links outbound moves from places like Boston to rising living costs, housing pressures, and other metro challenges (e.g., taxes, congestion). Similar factors apply to other Northeast spots.

More than half the S&P 500's total value is now in stocks priced above 10x sales. This was once considered an outlandish valuation, as it leaves little room for error. The list includes Nvidia, Apple, GOOG, MSFT, Broadcom, Tesla, Micron, Eli Lilly, AMD, Oracle and 57 more.

[Nantucket Current @ACKCurrent]

Old Thom, the solitary male orca known to frequent New England waters, was spotted just 10 miles off Nantucket on Wednesday by Capt. Shawn Deane of Sure Shot Charters, who shared this video with the Current.

Massachusetts shark biologist John Chisholm said Old Thom was easily recognizable in the clip due to his unique dorsal fin, which has a distinct notch.

While orcas typically travel in highly-structured family groups called pods, Old Thom is usually spotted alone in the waters of the North Atlantic, or sometimes cruising with a group of white-sided dolphins. Old Thom was most recently seen on Stellwagen Bank in April, and is a regular visitor to the Gulf of Maine, the Bay of Fundy, and the waters off Cape Cod.

Thanks to Capt. Shawn for sharing this incredible encounter with us!

Gestating parent...🤔

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

This is INSANE

Democrats NY have passed a bill changing terms such as "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent."

It will now head to Gov Kathy Hochul to be signed into law.

Democrats are destroying what it means to be a mother and father.
