Top 10 States That Attracted Movers Last Year

Migrant Mysteries:10 States That Attracted Movers Last Year
Every year, United and Atlas Van Lines come out with their survey of which states are gaining and losing population. This is a survey where they look at all the state-to-state moves made and gauge how many are coming and going to and from each state and real estate prices.
The country is changing. 10 or 20 years ago, if you got out of school with a degree, most people had to move to a big city to find a job in your field. That isn't as much of a thing anymore. Not as many people need to live in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, and New York City. Those people have now started looking for more affordable places to live. This list convinced me of this shifting American migration pattern.

Same here, and not regretting it. I was looking at a combination of affordability and weather. Coming from the West Coast, it is such a relief to have NO disasters in Metro Atlanta. Having lived in truly hot places before, I laugh in my AC'd house when people start complaining. No quakes, no fires, no slides, no volcanoes, no killer hail or wind. If I want to chase severe weather, I can drive a couple of hours. Win/win!

[@xxkissmeketutxx]

​@soundreflections9126 May I ask... isn't the crime in Atlanta sky high? I'm Aussie and don't have a way to know your local info so I hope my question is okay? I thought Atlanta has a lot of crime? Also, have you lived there long enough to KNOW about humidity there? We have warm summers here in Oz- 44°C is the hottest I've seen- but the humidity is what reks me 😒

[@singingwindrider9881]

​@@xxkissmeketutxx... hey, I can answer as I've been here in GA over 30yrs. Spots in Atlanta are bad but just don't go to those areas. However, it isn't "the wild west" thug scenario you see highlighted in newscasts either. That said, I hardly go to Atlanta because I've no reason to. But I don't care for being in any big city. Shoot, even my small town, now at 500, is getting too crowded for me. Which is why I'm here, perusing Briggs' helpful info vids. 👍😉 Now, humidity, it will kill you. But most people avoid outdoors during midday when it's at its worst. Unless they're at a "swimming hole". And with the explosion of gator numbers due to idiots that think they're necessary, that means pools that are securely enclosed (& I'm only an hour south of Atlanta). Just get a good ac man and you will be fine. That said, it's really only july/August that ruin midday activities. Hope this helps. 🙂🕊🕊

I'm really supervised that Idaho didn't make the list either. My daughter moved to Idaho from Washington state for health and other reasons. She and her family love it there. She moved to Caldwell, 30 miles west of Boise. She loves the sunshine but it does get a little cold in winter and a little warm in summer but it's a dry climate which she loves. She likes the feel of it, the safety, and it's a conservative state.

There was a time when the Tampa metro area was a state gem, that only Floridians only knew about. But it's safe to say that our secret is out, more and more people are moving to Tampa and the surrounding areas. Tampa, Clearwater, St Pete and the Sarasota areas have become very popular in the last 5 or 6yrs. Cities all around the bay area is seeing a population increase. I've been living in Florida for 32yrs, I moved from south Florida to the Tampa metro area 12yrs ago. It's just cheaper than south Florida, and it's got more to offer I think. A lot of new shops and businesses have opened, the whole metro area is becoming more diverse. Matter of fact the entire west coast of Florida is seeing a population boom lately. In the last few years a lot of tech companies have been moving in, great night life and craft brewery scene. It's a lot cheaper than Miami, Fort Lauderdale and the southeast coast where I used to live. Plus it's more laid back and relaxing too. To anyone thinking of or planning a move to the Tampa area I welcome you and I look forward to seeing you.

[@wingfn1181]

I've lived in the Tampa area all my life. From Sarasota, to Tampa, to St. Pete. I recently left St. Pete and moved to Seattle for a job about 2 years ago. I don't regret it at all but there are some places I will miss. I've had numberous job offers in other cities before that I've turned down because I knew they just weren't as good at Tampa\St. Pete no matter how much they offered me. I recommend St. Petersburg to anyone visiting the west coast of Florida.

[@evankalbach9985]

I've been here 60 years and people are leaving due to insurance. Coastal in screwed due to hurricanes and the middle of Florida in quite a few areas has a sinkhole issues and insurance rates match. We are leaving the coast and going inland at a minimum.

No offense, but I've been to Tampa and it was very "Florida" but like not in a good way. Everyone looked like either a retiree or a meth head, and nothing in the middle.

[@davidobrien6222]

Hello Mr. Briggs... Please add U-Haul to your list of resources. NO, I am not affiliated with U-Haul, but there is a bit different. Lots of people use them for their moves across the city, state or country. For instance, in U-Hauls latest list, Tennessee is number 5. and Texas is number 1 in their list. Might get a more realistic look at who's moving in. But Moving Van Lines are a very important "Identifier" of moves to another state.

Hopefully im joining everyone moving to NC , Florida just doesnt have the pay even in the tech field its lacking hard

[@TimLucasdesign]

True but if you have a remote job and your company is based in NY or LA, it looks more attractive.

[@diodelvino3048]

Thats true, only way i see myself coming back is if i have a remote job ,hopefully based in DC. Id probably live in Tampa or St.Pete if that happened@@TimLucasdesign

God please don’t move to NC! We are full!!!

[@diodelvino3048]

No youre not.@@chickenfeet9558

[@larrys009]

North Carolina....we're full and don't want you. Thanks 😊

[@chickenfeet9558]

I was born and raised in San Diego. Moved to NC in 1993 and regret it. Think long and hard before you move, you may never get to go back to your home. I should have bought something there in CA when I had the chance. Miss my beautiful state and my family. I never thought I would be here this long.

I lived in Arkansas in Hot Springs, and liked it very much much. Rented a nice house on a lake. About $800/ mo, 22 years ago.

[@bobwallace9814]

The wife and I also like Hot Springs a lot.

[@Gen.WhiteHonky]

that actually sounds expensive af for 22 years ago

[@aedanhickey5264]

I was looking at land down there to build a small cabin! I’m from iowa and wanna get to some warmer climate lol

[@ewallt]

@@aedanhickey5264 There’s some very inexpensive and pretty woods east of Fayetteville.

[@ewallt]

@@Gen.WhiteHonky No, it was cheap. Beautiful lake house in vacation area for less than a 2 bedroom apartment in Dallas at the time. I was amazed.

THE SHIRT IS BLUE!! WOOHOO! I don’t have to wear my underwear backwards for a week!! 😂

[@rustonreid2256]

Most of the movement for AR is due to people going to Northwest Arkansas. Since I moved here (native Arkansan and lived here all my life), most of the people that live here are from out of state thanks to the three Fortune 500 companies that make up a large part of the economy.

[@francishodges6873]

Definitely north-west Arkansas. South-east Arkansas is about the last place to which anyone would want to move.

[@rustonreid2256]

@@francishodges6873 Facts. I grew up in Pine Bluff and I couldn't wait to get out of that decaying city.

I moved to DC from Alabama and I don’t regret it

[@tippytoes2358]

A lot of migration here in NC is also coming from foreign countries. Lots of physicians here are from other countries. Also, I've noticed in the past year of 2023 that so many people with license plates are from California and Texas - more than I've ever seen - were driving around here in NC. Not sure if they are just visiting or just moved?

[@neutronjack7399]

United and Atlas Van Lines are good indicators, but I would like to know what kind of numbers U-Haul and Penske had to report and how that would affect this list.

[@raginghardleftist]

I'm a little surprised that Nevada didn't make this list. Las Vegas has it's polarizing effect on migrants that's well documented, but Reno and Sparks are growing in popularity and both metro areas have major industries setting up shop there.

[@Vic-ok2pp]

I also commented on no Nevada. I live in Reno and because of Tesla/Panasonic and many other businesses the population and costs have risen dramatically.

[@raginghardleftist]

@@Vic-ok2pp I’m considering relocating to Reno. Las Vegas has a lower cost of living, but Reno is closer to an abundance of natural resources and it doesn’t get scorching hot 🥵 nearly as often as Vegas.

[@dsuttajit]

Las Vegas is getting crowded
