Texas Top Destination for Migration; Massive California Exodus Causes U-Haul Truck Shortage!

Texas is the top destination for one-way U-Haul rental trips in 2021, while California topped the list for outward migration and even ran out of U-Haul trucks for people wanting to leave the state, a new report from U-Haul shows.
The moving and storage rental company has a “U-Haul Growth Index,” which calculates the net gain or loss of one-way U-Haul trucks entering a state versus leaving that state in a calendar year.
The southern states took the lead in the U-Haul Growth Index report, with Texas narrowly beating Florida as the top growth state of 2021. The Lone Star state notably garnered more than half (50.2 percent) of all one-way U-Haul traffic in 2021.
Tennessee, South Carolina, and Arizona came third, fourth, and fifth in seeing the top net gains of one-way U-Haul trucks.
