"Top 2023 Moving Destinations Revealed: Texas Leads, Wilmington Shines"

Texas has been named the top destination for movers in 2023, marking the sixth time in eight years it has topped the U-Haul Growth Index. The state's appeal is attributed to its booming industries, absence of state income tax, and housing of the most Fortune 500 company headquarters. California continues to experience a mass exodus, primarily due to its high cost of living. Florida remains the second most popular state for movers, also benefiting from having no state income tax. The top ten states for relocation also include North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Idaho, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, and Virginia.
