Texas Leads Nation on U-Haul Growth Index
Texas leads the list of in-migration states on the U-Haul Growth Index, which analyzes one-way customer transactions during 2025, while California ranks last with the greatest number of out-migrations for the sixth consecutive year. The U-Haul Growth Index is a reliable indicator of how effectively states, metropolitan areas, and cities attract and retain residents.
Blue-to-red state migration, a hotly debated political topic that became more pronounced after the pandemic of 2020, continues to be a discernible trend.
Texas reclaimed the title of No. 1 U-Haul growth state for the seventh time in the past decade. Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee follow Texas as prime destinations.
The U-Haul Growth Index is compiled from well over 2.5 million annual one-way transactions across the U.S. and Canada.
