Storagecafe says interstate moving is at an all-time high, with a record-breaking 8.2 million Americans making the move across state lines in 2022. On the flip side, their data show same-state relocations plummeted over the last decade, from 37.8 million Americans involved in local moves in 2013 to just 31 million in 2022.

- Millennials favor the South, with Texas, Georgia and Florida seeing the highest volumes of net migration among 24-to-39 year-olds in 2022
- Connecticut and North Carolina — plus Washington, DC — emerge as the best states for attracting and retaining Gen Zers
