U-Haul Reports Baby Boomers Leading Migration to Southeast and Arizona
U-Haul's midyear migration trends report for 2026 reveals that Baby Boomers are predominantly relocating to the Southeast and Arizona, with South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida being the top destinations. This trend is attributed to the regions' appeal as retirement and winter home locations. Generation X and Millennials are also moving to Florida and Texas, but their preferences diverge beyond these states. Gen X tends to favor the Southeast and Mountain West, while Millennials are drawn to California and the Midwest for career opportunities. Generation Z is gravitating towards densely populated areas with ample job opportunities and educational institutions, with Texas and California being their top choices.
