What the Data Actually Shows

The Story Behind the Map

Florida’s migration balance reversed in 2026 for the first time in five years; 63% of Florida’s moving demand is now inbound, up 9.5 points from 2025. California’s outbound share has fallen every year since 2020, from 24.3% to 11.5%. And the median interstate move has shortened 15% since 2020, as cross-country relocations give way to shorter, one-state hops. Want the full story behind these numbers?
