Florida continued to be a top destination for movers in 2021, as people sought warm weather, beaches and abundant rental properties. Those are key takeaways from the latest Magnet States Report, which analyzes moves by thousands of Allied Van Lines customers and home-value data from Zillow.
The top three destination states for people who moved with Allied in 2021 were:
- Florida – 5,684 moves
- Texas – 4,739 moves
- California – 3,253 moves
For those who had work-related moves, Texas and California were the top destination states for the last five years, as both have strong economies and a large workforce.
The Texas population is projected to grow by more than five million residents by 2030 as an increasing number of companies like Tesla, Oracle, and Charles Schwab have moved operations to the Lone Star State, according to the Austin Business Journal. Texas is the ninth largest economy in the world, with a lower cost of living and no corporate income tax.
