U-Haul finds South Carolina, Texas and Florida among popular states to move to [Video]

A recent study found that a scenic state in the Southeast became the most popular place to move to in 2024, according to U-Haul.

The moving and storage company recently published its U-Haul Growth Index, which measures how many customers use one-way U-Haul equipment each year. South Carolina, 2024’s winner, knocked Texas, which led the list over the past few years, from the top spot.

“Growth rankings are configured by each state’s net gain (or loss) of customers utilizing one-way U-Haul equipment in a calendar year,” the study explained. “The U-Haul Growth Index is compiled from well over 2.5 million one-way U-Haul truck, trailer and U-Box® moving container transactions that occur annually.”

Here were the least-to-most popular states to move to in 2024, according to U-Haul:
