Tampa Bay branded one of the top relocation for migration in the US

According to a PODS research, Americans are still flocking to Florida, which has five of the top ten migration locations. Based on this year’s data from the moving and storage company, Americans are still drawn to warmer states.

Moreover, Americans are continuing to flock to cities in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. According to a recent PODS survey, the four states accounted for more than 80% of the most moved-to cities.

Tampa Bay came in at No. 9 on PODS list of cities with the most move-ins. Last year, the area came in at No. 4. The top Florida city for move-ins is Sarasota, which came in at No. 2 on PODS list.

Orlando, Ocala, Jacksonville and Melbourne were also some of the top relocation destinations.

“Our numbers indicate that cities and states with high costs of living, higher crime rates, and inclement weather are pushing Americans to move, while the cities and states that offer low tax rates, warm weather, and comparatively affordable housing are attracting movers,” PODS said.
