"2023 Migration Trends: Top Inbound and Outbound States Revealed by U-Haul Data"
U-Haul's 2023 Growth Index report indicates Illinois ranks third among states with the highest number of people moving out, following California and Massachusetts. Texas continues to be the top destination for movers for the second consecutive year. The index measures the net gain of one-way U-Haul truck rentals, and despite a decrease from the pandemic peak, the trend of moving to the southeast and southwest persists. Illinois has also seen a population decrease, according to recent Census estimates.
