Axios -  America saw fewer moves than ever in 2024, Axios' Sami Sparber writes from an industry analysis of census data.  Only 1 in 9 people (11%) changed residences last year — a record low in data going back to 1948.

New Jersey (8%) and New York (9%) had the lowest shares of movers in 2024, according to Point2Homes, an online house-rental platform.

Residents moved most in Alaska, Oklahoma, and Colorado, each around 14%.

19% of movers in 2024 changed states. 71% relocated to a different city.
