Moving within vs moving out of Texas

Let's see how many people move within Texas versus those who moved from Lone Star State to another state.

Moved Within TX
43%
Moved out of TX
57%

Out of all residential moves in Texas - the second largest state in the United States, 43% of them have been local ones (within the state limits), with 57% being interstate moves to another U.S. state.

If you yourself happen to be moving soon, either locally or cross-country, remember that your priority task is to select a professional moving company that’s both reputable and affordable.
