The nation’s largest moving company says more and more people are leaving Florida, in search of cheaper places to live.

United Van Lines says that for the first time in 30-years, inbound moves to the state fell in 2005.

Although United's study is not scientific, analysts say it does show a recent trend of Floridians leaving the state in part to escape rising property taxes and insurance rates.

A professor at the University of Florida says recent U.S. census figures show that Florida gains 1,000 people a day while losing 400.

United's report shows North Carolina, Oregon and South Carolina were the top destination states in 2006.
