Vermont has topped United Van Lines' National Movers Study as the state with the highest percentage of inbound moves for the third consecutive year, with 65% of moves being inbound, largely due to family proximity and lifestyle changes. Washington, D.C., and South Carolina also saw significant inbound migration. The trend reflects a shift towards less expensive metro areas amid rising housing costs, as reported by Zillow.
