It also examined which US cities were the most attractive to people, and explored the distance and timings of moves, measuring how far (and when) Americans moved in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The study resulted in several interesting findings, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most people moved to a place within the same county (62%)<\/li>\n<li>1 in 6 (16%) people on the move chose to find a new home across state lines<\/li>\n<li>The top destination city was Scottsdale, AZ, with twice (108%) as many people moving in versus out<\/li>\n<li>The top destination state was Idaho with 48% more people moving into it than out of it<\/li>\n<li>1 in 8 (13%) of all out-of-state moves were moves to Florida<\/li>\n<li>20% of all moves in America happen on Saturday<\/li>\n<li>35% of all moves took place in the Summer months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis particular study stands out because HireAHelper\u2019s data takes into account the small, do-it-yourself moves that are invisible to large moving companies that have traditionally published migratory figures,\u201d says Dr. Wendy Parson,\u00a0 Ph.D. from the University of California San Diego and an expert in social dynamics at Varsity Tutors. \u201cHireAHelper\u2019s research offers a more complete and accurate reflection of society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the data, states such as Idaho, New Mexico, and Maine all registered at least 35% more people moving into them compared to people leaving them. Close behind are Arizona and South Dakota, where net gains were at roughly 25%.<\/p>\n<p>On the opposite side of the spectrum is West Virginia followed by, curiously enough, some of the wealthiest states in the country: New York (-18%), Connecticut (-18%), and Illinois, California and New Jersey (all at -17%).<\/p>\n<p>On the city level, New York City, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles all lost more residents than they gained in 2019. Meanwhile, smaller cities \u2013 many in southern states \u2013 saw great net gains in terms of people moving in. From Mesa and Scottsdale in Arizona, to Jacksonville and Sarasota in Florida, these four cities had 50% more people moving in than moving out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hireahelper.com\/moving-statistics\/migration-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to read the full report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HireAHelper, the online marketplace for finding, comparing and booking moving transportation and services, today released its second annual study examining U.S. moving trends and the No. 1 hot spot for those relocating is Scottsdale.
