Texas is the No. 2 growth state in America, according to U-Haul data analyzing migration patterns from 2020.
Tennessee edges Texas, the leading growth state from 2016-18, and Florida, the No. 1 growth state for 2019, for top honors on the new U-Haul chart. Texas has been a top-two growth state each of the past five years.
People coming to Texas in one-way U-Haul trucks increased 9 percent during the past year, while departures rose 10 percent from 2019.
Despite the larger rise in departures, arrivals still accounted for 50.2 percent of all one-way U-Haul traffic in Texas during 2020 to make it the No. 2 state for netting DIY movers.
Growth states are calculated by the net gain of oneway U-Haul trucks entering a state versus leaving that state during a calendar year.
Migration trends data is compiled from more than 2 million one-way U-Haul truck-sharing transactions that occur annually.
