According to their annual Migration Patterns report, Atlas Van Lines said that, in 2017, 11 U.S. states reported a change in migration status over their 2016 numbers. In addition, 23 states were balanced (moves in and out of the states were roughly equal). However, an perhaps interestingly, their data showed an overall decrease in the number of moves in 2017. Atlas has annually conducted the Migration Patterns study since 1993 which tracks the nation’s interstate and cross-border (U.S. to Canada) moving patterns as reflected in moves handled by Atlas Van Lines. Next week we’ll see what United Van Lines says in their similar report.
