The state joins other popular destinations for movers like

It might not be shocking to hear that a number of folks are leaving areas like California, along with other regions like Michigan, Illinois, and New Jersey.

Areas like FL and TX have attracted plenty of interest because of their freedom from state income tax, this is one of the most frequently cited reasons for the popularity of the state that people are deciding to call home.

Texas Still Ranks As a Top Destination For Moving

The population boom that some regions are seeing in places like TX or FL though won't take long to start impacting the housing costs, as demand increases with so many who want to call the state home.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been relocating to these other areas and as a result some cities in those regions have seen a great increase in that average home price.

Why are so many interested in Texas? Various reasons have been given including better job prospects, being closer to relatives, lower cost of living, and the lack of certain taxes. Will it continue to hold this popularity for many years to come?

Maybe they don't have much to worry about though as there might be hundreds of thousands who have left, but they still see hundreds of thousands coming to regions like California just the same.

Some of the states with the highest cost of living are said to be regions like California, Washington, Hawaii, and Vermont. Even though they might have a high cost of living though that hasn't stopped some of those regions from ranking among the top 10 destinations for movers in recent years.
