According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from the day George Ryan took office as governor in January 1999 through the last year of the administration of Rod Blagojevich in 2008, a net number of 637, 979 former Illinois residents moved out of the state and have not returned or been replaced by others moving in.
Illinois now ranks 48 of the 50 states in net migration. California and New York lost more people, more than 1.4 and 1.7 million respectively.
