Several new studies show that Americans are migrating to Southern states at a higher rate than to other parts of the country, seeking a better economy, lower taxes, and jobs.
A Jan. 2 study from U-Haul, which came out before the recent wildfires broke out in Los Angeles, ranked California last on the company’s “growth states” list for the fifth straight year. The disparity showed that 51 percent of the company’s customers were leaving the Golden State and 49 percent were moving in. South Carolina was singled out as the most popular migration destination in the United States.
