PODS Enterprises, LLC recently released its fourth annual Moving Trends Report identifying the top 20 cities Americans are flocking to, and fleeing from, in 2024. The report analyzes consumer movements throughout the past fifteen months, identifying the environmental and economic factors that inspired these trends. 

Carolinas and Appalachians become new hotspots as pandemic cities cool off

For the second consecutive year, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina landed the top spot on the list of cities people are moving to. Raleigh, North Carolina jumped 14 places compared to last year, coming in sixth in 2024. However, it’s not just these coastal gems that are seeing an influx of new residents. The entire Southern Appalachian region is booming, with droves of people seeking the “quiet life” in states like Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. 

 More Americans are calling the Southeast home with the promise of lower costs of living, an exceptional quality of life, an incredible food scene, easy access to nature, and vibrant metro areas. This migration highlights the region’s broad appeal to those craving a more balanced lifestyle at a reasonable price point without sacrificing modern amenities and rich cultural experiences.

“Last year, we noted the Carolinas were worth watching, and this year, they’ve not only taken the trophy as the number one spot for new moves but also broken a record,” said Rich Schwartz, SVP of Corporate Operations at PODS. 

“On the flip side, we’re continuing to see a throughline where expensive metro areas are prompting Americans to flock to cities and states where the cost of living is lower, and the lifestyle is more balanced,” he added.

California dreaming turns to natural living: housing costs push Americans out of cities

Los Angeles, Northern California, South Florida’s Miami metro, and Long Island, New York continue to see the largest population exoduses. While the draw to natural surroundings is a driving force, skyrocketing costs of living have proven equally influential in this lifestyle pivot. Exorbitant housing costs, overcrowding, and hefty tax burdens have become, for some, insurmountable challenges in these urban centers. As a result, many residents find themselves priced out and seeking reprieve from major cities. This mass relocation underscores the growing appeal among Americans in prioritizing access to nature and a more sustainable quality of life over the pace of city living.
