Migration data for top cities people are moving to in 2026 tells a story with two distinct layers. In raw numbers, Texas and Florida continue to absorb the largest waves of new residents in the country. But when you measure by the ratio of people moving in versus people moving out, a different set of cities rises to the top: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina leads all US cities with a 3.88-to-1 inbound move ratio, and Knoxville, Tennessee and Tulsa, Oklahoma top the lists that measure how many new residents arrive for every person who leaves. Both layers are real, and both matter depending on what you are trying to understand about where the country is moving.
This guide compiles migration data from the US Census Bureau, MoveBuddha, U-Haul’s Growth Index, United Van Lines, Redfin, and multiple relocation forecasts to give you the complete 2026 picture: the cities gaining the most residents in absolute numbers, the cities winning on inbound-to-outbound ratio, the emerging Midwest story that most coverage misses, the cities people are leaving fastest, and what the underlying drivers are for each pattern.
Key Points: Top Cities People Are Moving to in 2026
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina leads all US cities on inbound move ratio with 3.88 people moving in for every 1 who leaves, according to MoveBuddha’s 2026 data; six of the top ten cities on that same measure are in the Carolinas and Florida
- New York City is still the #1 city by absolute inflow, adding 87,184 new residents between July 2023 and July 2024 per US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates; the narrative of mass exodus from New York is real in net terms but does not capture the city’s continued raw attraction power
- Dallas-Fort Worth topped the U-Haul Growth Index for the second consecutive year as the #1 growth metro; Houston ranked #2 and Austin #3, making Texas metros the dominant force across every commercial carrier relocation dataset
- Knoxville, Tennessee posts the highest projected inbound-to-outbound move ratio among mid-sized metros at 1.61 new residents for every person who leaves, driven by affordability, proximity to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and University of Tennessee influence on the local economy
- South Carolina is the fastest-growing state in the country in 2026 at 1.5% population growth per Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates, ahead of Idaho (1.4%), North Carolina (1.3%), and Texas (1.2%)
- The Midwest is the underreported story of 2026: Minneapolis and Indianapolis both flipped from net domestic outflow to net inflow for the first time in years; Minnesota appeared on United Van Lines’ top 10 inbound list for the first time, and Minneapolis cracked the U-Haul top 25 growth metros
- Texas added 391,243 new residents in raw numbers, the most of any state; Florida added 196,980 and North Carolina added 145,907
- The cities losing the most residents are familiar: New York (net domestic outflow of -119,198), Los Angeles (-99,979), Miami (-67,418), and Chicago (-42,844); but the bleeding is slowing, with New York improving its domestic outflow by nearly 34,000 year over year
How Migration Data Is Measured: Why the Numbers Differ by Source
Different data sources measure relocation differently, and understanding which measure you are looking at is the only way to make sense of why New York City can simultaneously be the #1 city Americans are moving to and one of the biggest net-outflow metros in the country.
Absolute Inflow vs. Net Migration vs. In-to-Out Ratio
The US Census Bureau counts total new residents arriving regardless of how many are leaving. New York’s 87,184 new arrivals is a real number that reflects the city’s continued magnetic pull on people from smaller US cities, international migrants, and younger adults entering the workforce. But New York also lost more than 119,000 domestic residents in the same period, producing a large net negative.
U-Haul and moving company indexes count the number of one-way truck rentals or moves booked into versus out of each market. This dataset skews toward middle-income domestic movers and misses international arrivals and high-income movers who use full-service carriers without booking directly through consumer platforms.
MoveBuddha’s in-to-out move ratio captures what percentage of a city’s total moves are inbound versus outbound. A ratio of 3.88 for Myrtle Beach means that for every one person moving out, 3.88 people are moving in. This metric is particularly useful for identifying cities that are genuinely gaining population relative to their size, where even a small absolute number of moves represents a large proportional shift.
No single measure is definitive. The fullest picture comes from reading all three together, which is what this guide does.
Top Cities by Inbound Move Ratio: Where Americans Are Choosing to Go
The in-to-out ratio is the most revealing measure of genuine destination preference because it shows where people are actively choosing to move relative to how many are simultaneously choosing to leave. A city with a ratio above 2.0 is a destination where twice as many people are arriving as departing. These are the cities where demand for housing, services, and community is actively outpacing supply.
| Rank | City / Metro | State | In-to-Out Ratio | Primary Driver |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Myrtle Beach | South Carolina | 3.88 | Retirement, coastal affordability, warm climate |
| 2 | St. Augustine | Florida | 2.77 | Historic character, retirement, coastal access |
| 3 | Bellingham | Washington | 2.52 | Pacific Northwest lifestyle, outdoor access, Seattle proximity |
| 4 | Portland | Maine | 2.48 | Coastal New England culture, walkability, remote worker appeal |
| 5 | Ocala | Florida | 2.37 | Affordability, equestrian culture, Florida retirement draw |
| 6 | Fort Collins | Colorado | 2.34 | Outdoor lifestyle, Colorado State University, lower cost vs. Denver |
| 7 | Kissimmee | Florida | 2.25 | Florida affordability relative to Orlando, warm climate |
| 8 | The Villages | Florida | 2.22 | Purpose-built retirement community; consistent 55+ draw |
| 9 | Wilmington | North Carolina | 2.14 | Coastal access, film industry, retirement and remote worker appeal |

Top Cities by Absolute Population Growth
Absolute growth tells a different story from ratio data because it reflects the gravitational pull of large metros with established economic engines. New York’s 87,184 new arrivals dwarf Myrtle Beach’s total inflow, but Myrtle Beach is adding people far faster relative to its existing population. Both metrics matter; they simply tell you different things about a city’s trajectory.
| City | State | New Residents (Jul 23 – Jul 24) | Primary Growth Driver |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York City | New York | 87,184 | International migration, finance, tech; net negative domestically |
| San Antonio | Texas | 23,945 | Military, healthcare, affordable housing, cultural heritage |
| Phoenix | Arizona | 16,933 | Warm climate, job base expansion, housing supply, retirees |
| Seattle | Washington | 16,813 | Tech sector (Google, Apple, Amazon); outdoor recreation; high wages |

Detailed Profiles: Top Cities People Are Moving to in 2026
Myrtle Beach, SC: The Country’s #1 Inbound Move Destination
Myrtle Beach sitting at the top of the inbound-move ratio data with a 3.88 is not a surprise to anyone who has tracked Carolinas migration data over the last five years, but the magnitude of the lead over every other city is striking. Nearly four people are arriving in Myrtle Beach for every one who leaves. The driver is well-understood: the Grand Strand offers beach access, golf infrastructure, entertainment, and a cost of living that makes coastal Florida look expensive by comparison. Average rent sits around $1,075 per month, median home prices hover around $290,000, and the area has built out a healthcare system that now supports year-round retirement populations rather than just seasonal visitors.
The growth comes primarily from the 55-and-older demographic, but younger remote workers from the Northeast have also discovered the area as a viable full-time residence. The trade-off is infrastructure that was built for a tourist economy and is still adapting to permanent population growth; road congestion during summer season, school capacity strain in growing areas, and a service economy wage structure that reflects the hospitality industry’s pay scales are the practical challenges that come with the growth rate.
Knoxville, TN: Highest Mid-Sized Metro Move Ratio in the Country
Knoxville tops multiple 2026 relocation forecasts as the city with the highest projected inbound-to-outbound move ratio among mid-sized metros, with an expected 1.61 new residents for every person who leaves. The draw is a combination that is hard to replicate elsewhere: genuinely affordable housing with median home prices in the $280,000 to $320,000 range, proximity to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (the most-visited national park in the country with 13 million annual visitors), the University of Tennessee’s economic and cultural influence on the city, and Tennessee’s zero state income tax advantage.
Knoxville’s job market has grown beyond its university and healthcare anchors, with Oak Ridge National Laboratory driving a significant research and technology employment presence within a 30-minute drive. The city’s Market Square and Old City districts have developed into a genuine downtown social scene. For remote workers and households whose careers are not tied to a specific local employer, Knoxville’s combination of low cost, natural access, and cultural infrastructure makes a compelling case that national media attention has only recently begun to reflect.
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX: #1 U-Haul Growth Metro for Two Consecutive Years
Dallas-Fort Worth held the top position on the U-Haul Growth Index for the second consecutive year in 2026, reflecting the sustained gravitational pull of the country’s fourth-largest metropolitan area and one of its strongest diversified economies. The DFW metro added population through every channel simultaneously: domestic migration from high-cost California and Northeast markets, internal Texas migration from slower-growth regions, corporate relocations continuing to drive employment growth, and international migration adding to both the professional and labor force.
The job market’s breadth is the defining characteristic. Financial services through the presence of major bank operations centers, technology through the concentration of telecom and legacy tech headquarters, healthcare, logistics, and a manufacturing base that benefits from central US geography all contribute to a metro where career transitions and new entrants to the workforce both find options. Housing has become more expensive than the Texas average but remains significantly below comparable metro areas in California, the Northeast, or the Pacific Northwest.
Tulsa, OK: From Population Loss to Relocation Renaissance
Tulsa’s position on virtually every 2026 relocation trend list represents a genuine reversal from the city’s demographic trajectory of a decade ago, when it was consistently losing residents. The revitalization of the Brady Arts District and Gathering Place riverfront park, the Tulsa Remote program that offered $10,000 grants to remote workers who relocated there, and the broader affordability story of Oklahoma have combined to flip Tulsa’s migration balance. Multiple 2026 relocation forecasts cite Tulsa as a top destination, and the city ranks second on GMS Mobility’s inbound-to-outbound analysis of mid-sized metros.
Tulsa offers a livability proposition that is genuinely different from most growing Sun Belt cities: a historic downtown with architectural character, an arts scene anchored by the Philbrook Museum and the Woody Guthrie Center, affordable housing well below the national median, and access to eastern Oklahoma’s lakes and Ozark foothills for outdoor recreation. For remote workers who want the lifestyle advantages of a real city without the cost or density of a major metro, Tulsa’s combination of affordability, culture, and accessibility continues to attract national attention.
Raleigh, NC: Growth Metro With a Deep Tech Bench
Raleigh consistently appears across multiple 2026 migration datasets as one of the most active destination metros in the country. The Research Triangle anchored by Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, and NC State drives one of the strongest educated-workforce concentrations in the Southeast, and the presence of major pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and technology employers including Fiserv, IBM, Cisco, and a growing cohort of biotech companies makes the job market more genuinely knowledge-economy-oriented than most Southern growth metros.
Housing prices have risen significantly from their pre-pandemic levels but remain below comparable tech-adjacent markets in Austin, Denver, or the Bay Area. The metro’s suburban infrastructure through Cary, Apex, and Morrisville provides family-oriented housing options at prices that the core Raleigh market increasingly cannot match. North Carolina added 145,907 residents in raw terms, making it the third-fastest growing state in absolute numbers, and Raleigh is the primary engine of that growth.
Fort Collins, CO: College Town Turned Remote Worker Destination
Fort Collins ranks sixth on the MoveBuddha inbound ratio rankings with a 2.34 score, reflecting a consistent inflow that has turned the Colorado State University city into one of the most sought-after relocation destinations in the Mountain West. Its appeal is distinct from Denver and Boulder: it offers the walkable downtown character and outdoor access of the Front Range without Denver’s density or Boulder’s price premium. Median home prices are lower than Boulder’s, the city consistently ranks in the top tier of national livability lists, and the combination of university research economy and proximity to Denver’s professional job market within 60 miles makes it viable for households with careers in either location.
The Villages, FL: America’s Fastest-Growing Census-Designated Place
The Villages in central Florida has been the fastest-growing large census-designated place in the United States for over a decade, and 2026 data shows no slowdown in its rate of absorption of retirees from the Northeast and Midwest. The community is purpose-built for active adults 55 and older, with an infrastructure of golf courses, recreation centers, entertainment venues, and healthcare facilities that delivers what it promises. The 2.22 inbound move ratio reflects a cohort of arriving retirees that is as large in 2026 as it has ever been, driven by the continuing wave of Baby Boomers entering retirement age.
Savannah, GA: Historic Charm Crossing Into the Mainstream
Savannah has long been recognized by visitors for its squares, live oaks, and coastal Georgia character, but 2026 relocation data shows it crossing from a discovery destination into a mainstream one. MoveBuddha’s relocation predictions and GMS Mobility’s analysis both flag Savannah as a top inbound city, drawing particularly from Northeast retirees, remote workers, and lifestyle-driven buyers who have discovered the city through its growing presence in travel and relocation media.
The median home price in Savannah proper is rising with demand but remains below $350,000, and the surrounding Pooler and Richmond Hill corridors offer newer construction at prices accessible to first-time buyers and relocating families. The Port of Savannah, the third-busiest container port in the country, supports a logistics and manufacturing employment base that gives the metro real economic depth beyond the tourism-dependent character of the historic district.
Boise, ID: The Mountain West’s Most Consistent Growth Story
Boise appears across nearly every 2026 migration dataset as a consistent Top 10 to Top 20 growth destination. Idaho is the #2 fastest-growing state by percentage at 1.4% (behind only South Carolina at 1.5%), and Boise as the state’s largest city captures the majority of that growth. The city’s appeal is well-documented: outdoor recreation access to the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Bogus Basin ski area, and the Boise River Greenbelt within city limits; a technology job market anchored by Micron Technology, HP, and a growing software sector; and housing that remains meaningfully cheaper than comparable Pacific Northwest cities in Seattle and Portland.
Indianapolis, IN: The Midwest Flips to Inbound
Indianapolis is part of the most underreported migration story of 2026: the Midwest’s emergence as a net inbound destination after years as a consistent exporter of residents. Redfin’s analysis of Census data shows Indianapolis flipping from net domestic outflow to net inflow, and the city’s combination of a flat state income tax of 3.05 percent, a diversified economy anchored by healthcare, technology, motorsports, and logistics, and housing with a median price under $190,000 gives arriving households genuine financial breathing room.
The quality of urban life in Indianapolis has improved substantially over the last decade through investment in the downtown Canal Walk, Bottleworks District, and Mass Ave corridor. For households arriving from Chicago, the cost differential is stark: housing that costs $400,000 in a comparable Chicago suburb runs $220,000 in Indianapolis’s best family neighborhoods.
Vancouver, WA: Portland’s Affordable Alternative
Vancouver, Washington sits directly across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon, and offers access to Portland’s job market and cultural infrastructure without Oregon’s income tax, at housing prices that are significantly more accessible than Portland proper. It ranks third on GMS Mobility’s 2026 inbound analysis for mid-sized metros. For remote workers and Portland-area employees willing to pay a bridge toll and navigate the I-5 and I-205 crossings, Vancouver delivers a financial advantage that has become increasingly well understood as Portland’s home prices have climbed.
Migration Trends Shaping 2026
The Midwest Reversal
One of the clearest structural shifts in 2026 migration data is the Midwest’s emergence from consistent net-outflow territory into competitive inbound status. Minneapolis and Indianapolis both flipped to net inflows. Minnesota appeared on United Van Lines’ top 10 inbound state list for the first time. Minneapolis cracked U-Haul’s top 25 growth metros, also a first. The drivers are identifiable: significant cost-of-living advantages over Sun Belt metros that have seen price appreciation reduce their affordability advantage, a healthcare and education sector that creates professional employment stability, and four-season livability that is increasingly valued by households who have experienced Sun Belt heat and hurricane exposure.
The Mountain West Surge
MoveBuddha’s 2026 data shows a surge in search interest for Mountain West states. Montana is up 42 percentage points in move interest since 2025. Idaho is up 36 points. Arizona and New Mexico are both up 27 points. The pattern reflects households seeking the outdoor lifestyle and geographic appeal of the Mountain West at prices that remain below Pacific Coast markets, even as Mountain West metros have seen their own price appreciation over the last five years. Idaho’s 2.05 in-to-out move ratio is the highest of any state in 2026, the first time it has exceeded 2.0 since 2020.
Retirement-Driven Growth Continues to Dominate Ratio Lists
Nearly half of the cities with the highest inbound move ratios are shaped primarily by retirement demand: Myrtle Beach, St. Augustine, Ocala, The Villages, and Kissimmee all reflect the continuing wave of Baby Boomers choosing to relocate in retirement to warm-climate, affordable, amenity-rich communities. This cohort is large enough and financially capable enough that it is driving growth independently of job market dynamics, which is why several of these cities appear on inbound ratio lists despite not ranking highly on job market strength measures.
Remote Work Sustains Lifestyle Migration
The remote work population established during the pandemic years has not reversed to pre-2020 patterns, and the cities that gained remote workers between 2020 and 2023 have largely retained them. More importantly, a new cohort of remote-eligible workers continues to use location flexibility to choose destinations based on cost of living, outdoor access, and quality of life rather than employer proximity. This sustains growth in cities like Knoxville, Tulsa, Fort Collins, Bellingham, and Portland, Maine that would not register on purely job-market-driven migration models.
Cities People Are Leaving in 2026
Understanding where people are leaving clarifies why the gaining cities are gaining. The outflow is not random; it follows predictable cost, tax, and quality-of-life gradients.
| City | Net Domestic Outflow / Ratio | Primary Departure Driver | Notable Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York City | -119,198 domestic | Cost, taxes, density | Outflow improving by ~34,000 YoY |
| Los Angeles | -99,979 domestic | Housing cost, state income tax, homelessness | Improving by ~21,000 YoY |
| Miami | -67,418 domestic | Rising housing costs, insurance, flooding risk | FL tax advantage eroding as prices rise |
| Chicago | -42,844 domestic | Property taxes, state income tax, crime perception | Improving by ~20,000 YoY |
| Bakersfield, CA | 0.38 in-to-out ratio | Limited job market, California tax burden, air quality | Worst outbound ratio of any US city in 2026 |
| Riverside, CA | 0.42 in-to-out ratio | California taxes, commute burden, cost of living | Inland Empire exodus to AZ, NV, TX continues |
| Hartford, CT | 0.60 in-to-out ratio | Connecticut income tax, declining industrial base | New England outflow largely to Carolinas and Florida |
Sources: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025; MoveBuddha Moving Trends 2026; Redfin domestic migration analysis 2026.
A notable counter-trend in this data: the cities losing the most residents are losing them at a slower rate than in previous years. New York’s domestic outflow improved by nearly 34,000 year over year. Los Angeles improved by roughly 21,000. Chicago improved by nearly 20,000. Washington DC improved by 20,000. Sacramento flipped entirely from net outflow to a modest inflow. The departure trend is real but is moderating rather than accelerating, which has implications for the narrative that the country’s large metros are in irreversible decline.
Best Destination Cities by Situation
| Your Situation | Best City Match | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Remote worker, maximum affordability | Knoxville, TN or Tulsa, OK | No state income tax (TN); $10K Tulsa Remote grant; sub-$300K median homes; outdoor access; genuine urban amenities |
| Retiree seeking coastal access | Myrtle Beach, SC or St. Augustine, FL | Both post among the highest inbound ratios in the country; both offer beach access, golf infrastructure, and healthcare suited to retirees at prices below coastal Florida averages |
| Professional with family, need strong job market | Raleigh, NC or Dallas-Fort Worth, TX | Both offer diversified economies with tech, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing employment; strong suburban school options; housing below coastal market prices |
| Leaving Chicago for affordability | Indianapolis, IN | Comparable Midwestern city culture at a fraction of Chicago’s cost; median home under $190K; flat state income tax of 3.05%; now a net inbound metro |
| Leaving Portland, OR for tax and cost relief | Vancouver, WA | Same metro job market access; no Oregon income tax; lower housing cost than Portland; ranks 3rd on GMS Mobility’s 2026 mid-sized inbound analysis |
| Outdoor lifestyle priority in Mountain West | Fort Collins, CO or Boise, ID | Fort Collins: 2.34 inbound ratio, Front Range outdoor access, lower cost than Boulder; Boise: #2 fastest-growing state, tech job growth, Sawtooth access |
| Leaving New York or Northeast for coastal culture | Savannah, GA or Wilmington, NC | Both offer coastal character with walkable historic districts; both draw consistent Northeast migration; housing well below Northeastern coastal equivalents |

Frequently Asked Questions: Top Cities People Are Moving to in 2026
What is the #1 city people are moving to in 2026?
It depends on how you measure it. By absolute inbound count, New York City leads all US cities with 87,184 new residents per Census Bureau Vintage 2025 data, though it maintains a large net negative due to domestic outflow. By inbound-to-outbound move ratio, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina leads the country with a 3.88 ratio per MoveBuddha 2026 data, meaning nearly four people arrive for every one who leaves. By commercial carrier data, Dallas-Fort Worth tops the U-Haul Growth Index for the second consecutive year. All three measures are valid; they capture different dimensions of the same migration picture.
What states are growing the fastest in 2026?
South Carolina leads all states in percentage population growth at 1.5% per Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates, followed by Idaho at 1.4%, North Carolina at 1.3%, and Texas at 1.2%. In raw numbers, Texas dominates with 391,243 new residents, followed by Florida with 196,980 and North Carolina with 145,907. Idaho’s 2.05 in-to-out move ratio (MoveBuddha) is the highest of any state in 2026, reflecting the Mountain West surge in relocation interest.
Why are people leaving California?
The outflow from California, particularly from Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and the Inland Empire, reflects a consistent set of factors: the country’s highest state income tax rate of 13.3% at the top bracket, home prices that put ownership out of reach at most income levels in desirable areas, a regulatory and cost-of-doing-business environment that has driven corporate relocations to Texas and other states, and a cost-of-living premium that is increasingly difficult to justify relative to alternatives. California still attracts significant international migration and retains a large professional class, but the domestic outflow is persistent. Bakersfield posts the worst inbound-to-outbound move ratio of any US city in 2026 at 0.38 per MoveBuddha data.
Is the migration out of New York and Chicago slowing down?
Yes, and this is the most significant counter-trend in 2026 migration data. New York’s domestic outflow improved by nearly 34,000 year over year. Chicago improved by nearly 20,000. Los Angeles improved by roughly 21,000. Washington D.C. improved by 20,000. Sacramento flipped from net outflow to a modest inflow. The large coastal metros are not recovering to net positive domestic migration, but the rate of departure is moderating. For cities like New York that retain strong international inflow, the overall population picture is less dire than the domestic outflow numbers alone suggest.
What Midwest cities are growing in 2026?
Indianapolis and Minneapolis both flipped from net domestic outflow to net inflow in the most recent data, the clearest signal of the Midwest’s emergence as a competitive relocation destination. Minnesota appeared on United Van Lines’ top 10 inbound state list for the first time. Minneapolis cracked U-Haul’s top 25 growth metros. Des Moines continues its quiet trajectory as one of the most livable and affordable mid-sized metros in the country. The Midwest’s growth story is driven by its large cost-of-living advantage over Sun Belt metros that have seen significant price appreciation, combined with strong healthcare, education, and financial services employment bases that generate stable professional job markets.
Where are people from the Northeast moving to in 2026?
The Northeast-to-Sun Belt pipeline remains the dominant domestic migration corridor. Florida receives the largest share of Northeast departures, with the Tampa Bay area, Jacksonville, and the Space Coast among the most active receiving markets for New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut movers. The Carolinas are the second major destination, with Raleigh, Charlotte, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach drawing consistently from the Northeast. Savannah, Georgia and Nashville, Tennessee capture a share of the more lifestyle-driven Northeast departures. For retirees specifically, the combination of Florida’s no-income-tax environment and South Carolina’s Social Security tax exemption makes both states compelling against Connecticut’s and New York’s high retirement tax exposure.
