Texas is the No. 1 state for move-ins in 2024, according to a new report from moveBuddha.
The moving analysis company’s report shows that domestic migration accounted for an estimated 186,767 new residents between 2022 and 2023. While inflow has slowed considerably since then, there’s also been a decrease in the amount of people moving out of the state.
So far this year, Texas’s in-to-out move ratio is up 17% year over year, meaning far more new residents are moving in than moving out of the Lone Star State. California largely fuels this inflow: Over 25% of all out-of-state moves into Texas are from California, followed by 6.7% from Florida, 4.9% from New York, 4.4% from Washington and 4.1% from Illinois.
Additionally, Texas is the No. 1 state in the country for in-migration internet searches in 2024, with nearly one in five people looking to relocate to a new state searching in Texas.
