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.

It takes a really good reason for Texans to want to move away from major cities like Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin (the state’s capital). 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.
