Where America actually moved in 2026
Net household flow across the states we serve, measured from Safeway Moving's own dispatch records — not survey data, not census estimates. Every move counted here is one we physically loaded and delivered. Figures are expressed as percentages of our own volume.
Net flow rate by state
For every 100 moves we ran touching a state, the net that stayed. +50% means fifty more households arrived than left. Direction and intensity, without disclosing volume.

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?
