Newsweek - In 2025, Americans moved at historically low rates, but noticeable patterns emerged in the states where people chose to relocate.
As fewer Americans move compared with decades past, the motivations and destinations for interstate relocation are shifting—driven by affordability, job opportunities, lifestyle changes, and family considerations.
Tracking these moves helps explain demographic changes, regional growth, and economic pressures across the nation.
According to Atlas [Van Lines] , the top inbound states for 2025 were:
Arkansas
Idaho
North Carolina
Hawaii
Washington, D.C.
Tennessee
Washington (state)
Alabama
North Dakota
New Hampshire
Conversely, the states with the highest proportion of outbound moves were:
Louisiana
West Virginia
Wyoming
Delaware
Nebraska
Arizona
Iowa
Oklahoma
South Dakota
South Carolina
Notably, over two-fifths of interstate movers to Arkansas settled in Bentonville, home to Walmart’s corporate headquarters.
