Over the last few years how many businesses have moved their headquarters to Texas? Or how many people have you heard left California for the Lone Star State for one reason or another? There've been quite a few, right?
Now how many people have you heard from Texas moving to another state? Not a lot.
In fact, a new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas says Texas is keeping more of its population than any other state in the country (82%), thanks in large part to its economic health!
Per NBC DFW, researchers used data from American Community Survey to determine the share of people born in each state who still lived in that state as of the 2021 survey. Researchers said in a statement, "The share of people born in a state and who stay there can provide an important measure of its attractiveness to workers. The stickiness of native residents is also key to maintaining a stable (or growing) population and workforce, which is vital to economic growth."
Other "sticky" states include North Carolina with 75.5 % of its population remaining in the state, Georgia with 74.2%, and believe it or not California at 73%.
