Whre Americans moved in 2025

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.
