The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed unexpected migration patterns, favoring Southeastern states as popular relocation destinations for individuals seeking family, job opportunities, and an improved lifestyle.
West Virginia, often not recognized as an attractive relocation destination, has seen over 65% of its movers inbound, primarily due to family ties and job opportunities.
The top states for population outflow post-pandemic are New Jersey and New York, driven largely by individuals relocating to be closer to family, a trend that predates COVID-19.
The annual study by United Van Lines highlights a consistent inflow to Southeastern states following the pandemic, which contrasts sharply with the even migration flow seen prior to 2020.
