Pack up: People are moving to Fort Worth from these US cities

Welcome home, fellow Fort Worthians.

U-Haul has released its 2024 mid-year report on migration trends , tracking the origins of U-Haul trucks arriving in the 25 most populated cities in the US, including Fort Worth. Let’s take a look at who’s moved into our city from where — and if you’re new around here, we’ve got even more to share.

The moving trends

So, where are folks coming from? According to U-Haul, here are the top three metropolitan areas outside our state that people are moving to Cowtown from:

• Oklahoma City, OK
• Denver, CO
• Phoenix, AZ

Welcome to Texas, friends. But that’s not all — our fellow Texans are also moving around quite a bit. Here are the top three cities within the Lone Star State that U-Haul customers are arriving to FTW from:

• Houston
• Austin ( Oh hey, ATXtoday )
• San Antonio ( Oh hey, SATXtoday )
