Based on data from U-Haul involving 2.5 million moves, South Carolina topped the list of states people relocated to across state lines in 2024, knocking Texas off the top spot. Texas had topped U-Haul's list for three consecutive years prior to 2024.
South Carolina and Texas were followed by North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee. Indiana, which was ranked No. 27 in 2023, jumped to No. 8. Oklahoma jumped 30 spots from No. 41 to No. 11. Colorado had the largest drop, falling from No. 9 in 2023 to No. 40 in 2024.
California topped the list of states with the most net departures, followed by Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. It was the fifth year in a row California had the most net departures in the U.S.

"But, but, but, it's only conservatives that are leaving the blue states!"
Yeah. Right.
Here in Florida newcomers are registering as Republicans in a large majority. So there is hope.
But, THAT shouldn’t change the federal Representation of those states, right?
I mean, 435 is 435.
It doesn’t matter if CITIZENS move, only if the Overlords change address.
We did.
We left NY for NH.
And brought our conservative values and voting with us.
It would not be surprising to learn the Biden administration “cooked the books” on the 2020 Census in order to deprive red states of representation in the House.
Ditto here in Idaho. Big influx of people from out of state (we just passed 2 million population in the state for the first time) and voter registrations are heavily going Republican.
I lived in central Illinois for 30 years. The area was very conservative, but sadly the state is controlled by Chicago liberals. We moved to Missouri a few years ago, and we’re doing our part to keep Missouri solid red.
I guess people don’t mind we have a goober for a governor.
And Tulsa has been flooded with kalifornia liberals. Go figure.
Yep. Hope he got one of those letters.
Those politicians who want to “keep families together” for illegal aliens should get their opportunity...
dressed in orange keeping cockroach families together.
Hopefully, our collective IQ doesn’t drop by 30 points.
A real genius, that one.

Although not set in stone, 435 congressional reps is the total number and does not change with the census counts. What changes is the proportion between the states, but that is only every ten years.

The census was finalized before Biden took office in 2021.
It would not be surprising to learn leftwing bureaucrats “cooked the books” on the 2020 Census in order to deprive red states of representation in the House.
There was some mucking of the books by the bureaucrats with under/over counting in various states.
We left New York for Arizona last year, and the first thing we unpacked was our conservative values.
does this include Haitians and Afghans?
Democratic analysts are terrified of the 2030 census—especially if we successfully deport millions of illegal aliens.
CA could well lose five or so seats in Congress—and states like NY, IL, MA etc could lose a few seats as well.
There could easily be a ten seat pro-Republican change nationwide just based on demographics.
