Which States Are People Moving to the Most?By RISMedia Staff
Florida and Texas are tied for first as a popular place to move to, with people from seven states flocking there above anywhere else, according to a new report from Forbes.
The study by moving experts at Forbes Home analyzed the latest available state-to-state migration data from the U.S. Census Bureau, which detailed where people in each state had been living one year before, to discover how many Americans are moving—and where they’re moving to. Key highlights:
The report also found that Washington, Massachusetts and Minnesota are each the number one destination for three states. Washington is most popular for movers from Idaho, Oregon, and Montana, with the total number of movers adding up to 231,956. Massachusetts is the number one destination for movers from Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, with 144,079 arrivals from the other 49 states and Washington D.C. in total. Minnesota is the No. 1 destination for movers from North Dakota and South Dakota, with 106,920 moving to the state in total. “Texas and Florida are great examples of how states with lower cost of living were priority relocation destinations during a time when people were not only faced with Covid-19 but also inflation,” commented a spokesperson for Forbes Advisor.
