Not only are more and more people moving to Texas from other states, it's more and more younger people.

According to a new survey released by Zillow, Texas ranked as the No. 1 most-popular moving destination for Gen Z!


And we always hear that Texas is desirable for movers because of its low cost of living compared to other states like New York and California.  However, that doesn't seem to be a motivating factor for Gen Z.

Zillow found that Gen Z movers "care less about affordability than the average person moving out of state."

Edward Berchick, a principal population scientist at Zillow, explained, "Gen Z movers are likely drawn to the job opportunities in these states, despite the higher costs of housing. They may also be in a stage of life where they're willing and able to be flexible in their standards of living while starting their careers."
