Immigration to the United States focuses on the latest practical information on U.S. immigration. The Worldway Group's Los Angeles office has recently learned that U-Haul has published the 2015 Migration Report, analyzing the most popular moving destination cities from 1.7 million one-way truck journeys, with Concord in the suburban Bay Area of California being the champion of 2015.
Concord is the most popular city for movers
The thriving economy of the Bay Area, along with the convenient public transportation system BART that allows commuting west to San Francisco and south via Highway 680 to the East Bay and South Bay of San Jose, combined with better housing affordability, makes Concord a more accessible choice for new residents moving to the San Francisco Bay Area compared to San Francisco and San Jose. Meanwhile, the California capital Sacramento and its nearby Roseville have risen significantly to become the second-largest moving destination city, climbing from tenth place in 2014.
Austin, Texas, was the top moving destination city in 2014, and although it slipped slightly to third place last year, it remains a popular city for new residents. The strong job market, rapidly growing economy, and vibrant culture and lifestyle attract many people to move there; additionally, a large number of graduates from nearby universities are entering the local job market, further enriching Austin's diversity.
The top ten moving destination cities in the U.S. according to U-Haul's 2015 report are:1. Concord, 2. Roseville-Sacramento, 3. Austin, 4. Madison, 5. Chicago, 6. College Station, 7. Henderson, 8. Manhattan, 9. Manteca, 10. Missoula.
Another moving truck company, Atlas Van Lines, published a 2015 migration report that shares some similarities with U-Haul's rankings. Austin and College Station in Texas have had the third-highest net migration trends over the past decade. Austin's strong job market has attracted a large number of college graduates in the past five years, leading to high demand in the local housing market. Last year, 11,543 new homes were built in Austin, significantly exceeding the volume of transactions in the housing market, indicating builders' confidence in this market.
Reports from United Van Lines and Atlas Van Lines indicate that New York and Illinois are two states with significant population outflows. However, in U-Haul's report, Manhattan (ranked 8th) and Chicago (ranked 5th) still attract a large influx of people, demonstrating that the allure of big cities outweighs the outflow from the state.
Oregon has the highest influx of movers
When looking at states, reports from United Van Lines and Atlas Van Lines indicate that Oregon has the highest percentage of inbound movers. While many people are moving to California, they are often troubled by the high housing prices there, making Oregon's housing affordability an attractive advantage.
However, the significant influx of people into Oregon has also led to rising housing prices and rents. According to CNBC, last fall, Portland surpassed Oakland to become the city with the highest rent increase. Compared to 2014, rents in Portland have risen by 12%.
