"U-Haul Trends: Texas Leads While Michigan and Illinois Lag in 2023 Migration Report"

Michigan is ranked as the No. 46 state in the U.S. for growth, based on U-Haul's annual "Growth Index" which tracks migration trends through one-way rental data. Despite a slight increase in arrivals, Michigan's overall position remains near the bottom, though it has improved from its previous No. 48 ranking. The report aligns with U.S. Census data showing Michigan's population decline, particularly in its most populated cities. Contrastingly, states like Texas and Florida lead as top growth states, while California continues to experience the largest net loss.
