Hallelujah? People have finally stopped moving to Georgia as much

ATLANTA — Fewer people are (finally) moving to Georgia, according to a new study from U-Haul.

The moving company calculates which states are growing the most by how many customers rent one-way moving vehicles to a state per given year.

“U-Haul calculates growth states by each state’s net gain (or loss) of one-way equipment from customer transactions in a calendar year. The U-Haul Growth Index is compiled from more than 2.5 million one-way U-Haul truck, trailer and U-Box moving container transactions that occur annually across the U.S. and Canada,” the company said in a news release.

For the sixth time in eight years, Texas topped the list of biggest growth, U-Haul said.

So where did Georgia rank on the list? We came in at No. 18 for 2023. That’s down 10 spots from No. 8 in 2022 based on the U-Haul data.

“Migration to states in the Southeast and Southwest is still very pronounced. Demand for one-way equipment out of certain markets in the Northeast, Midwest and West Coast mirrors what we have seen during recent moving cycles,” said John “J.T.” Taylor, U-Haul International president.

The states that saw the biggest net losses were California, Michigan, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York, U-Haul said.
