Generation Zers are choosing to move to Texas more than any other state, according to a recent report by Zillow, a national real estate marketplace.

The Lone Star State gained more than 76,000 Gen Z residents, or “zoomers,” classified by Zillow as those born between 1996 and 2004, according to a Feb. 9 report by the company, which used 2022 U.S. Census Bureau data in its analysis.
