U-Haul Growth Index found that one Southeastern U.S. state ranked as the most popular place to move to last year, beating Texas and Florida.

U-Haul announced that South Carolina tops its list for fastest growing state in 2024 based on its one-way movers. The company said the growth rankings are configured by each state’s net gain (or loss) of customers utilizing one-way U-Haul equipment in a calendar year.

Trailing just behind to round out the top 10 were Arizona, Washington, Indiana, Utah, and Idaho. While Oklahoma and Maine didn't make the top 10 rankings, they represented two out of the three biggest risers year-over-year in U-Haul's rankings, with Oklahoma up by 30 and Maine up by 18 (Indiana was also in that top three, up by 19).

While Texas and Florida remain popular, ranking second and fourth respectively, South Carolina’s rise highlights a shift in where movers are heading. Meanwhile, California continues to see the highest outbound migration, ranking last on the index for the fifth consecutive year.
