new residents moving to the state<\/a> within the U.S., with 7.8% of all U.S. domestic movers relocating\u00a0to Texas. The Southern giant trailed closely behind Florida, which claimed the No. 1 spot and an 8% share of all new residents.<\/p>\nOn top of largely attracting out-of-state newcomers, Texas once again dominated with the highest volume of people who moved within Texas, with 3.414 million Texans relocating to a new Lone Star community.<\/p>\n
“The data reflects what Texans experience every day: opportunity and a great place to enjoy life,” said Jennifer Wauhob, chairman of Texas REALTORS\u00ae, in the report. “Jobs and affordability draw people to Texas, and our strong communities make them want to stay.”<\/p>\n
As for the California of it all, Texas welcomed fewer Californians from the Golden State in 2024 compared to 2023 figures, but California “still sent more new residents to Texas” than anywhere else, the report noted. California experienced 77,000 residents relocating to Texas while 45,000 Texans moved out to the West Coast, per the study.<\/p>\n
Beyond California, Texas also attracted the highest numbers of new residents from these states:<\/p>\n
Florida: 52,000 new Texas residents<\/p>\n
New York: 28,000 new Texas residents<\/p>\n
Illinois: 24,000 new Texas residents<\/p>\n
Louisiana: 24,000 new Texas residents<\/p>\n
As for those moving out of Texas? California and Florida were neck and neck with 45,000 relocating to each respective state, followed up by 28,000 Texans moving to Colorado, 28,000 to Oklahoma and 21,000 to Georgia.<\/p>\n
