Arizona saw a huge jump in the number of people choosing to take a one-way trip and live there in 2020, sending the state into the Top 5 for migration growth.
Arizona was No. 5 on U-Haul’s migration growth list, with Tennessee grabbing the top spot, Texas staying at No. 2 and Florida and Ohio being the other two. In 2019, Arizona was 20th.
The states’ growth is calculated by how many more people came into the state using U-Haul trucks than departed during the calendar year. The company says they have more than 2 million people who rent one-way trucks each year.
