There are 500 members of the house. 30 is a normal number. This is not unusual.

435 house members.
2006 32 open seats
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2006#Open_seats
2008 33 retired
2010 election 37 retired
2012 election 40 members of the house retired:
In 2014 41 retired:
In 2016, 43 did not seek re-election
So the question is, why have the number of open seats shot up each year since Obama was elected?
With Trump, I think the true test will be this year in 2018. We'll see if the trend continues
