Six states that saw the biggest migration shifts in 2024
- The United States population grew by 1% from 2023 to 2024, sending the population north of 340 million. International migration played a central role in the population increase, with newcomers spread across all states and the District of Columbia.
The article from MSN discusses the significant migration shifts in six U.S. states during 2024. Florida and Texas continue to attract large numbers of new residents due to their economic opportunities, lower taxes, and favorable climates, with Florida seeing an influx from states like New York and California. Conversely, California is experiencing a notable exodus, primarily due to high living costs, taxes, and political climate, with many residents moving to states like Texas, Arizona, and Nevada. New York also faces substantial outmigration, driven by similar issues of high taxes and cost of living, with many relocating to Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Meanwhile, Idaho has become a surprising destination for those seeking affordability and a quieter lifestyle, drawing people from California, Washington, and Oregon. South Dakota and Montana are also witnessing population growth, attributed to their low population density, natural beauty, and policies promoting remote work. These shifts reflect broader trends of people moving towards states offering better economic conditions, lower costs of living, and lifestyle changes post the global health crisis.
