North Carolina has become one of the fastest growing states in the country, and last year, Charlotte and Raleigh were some of the most popular destinations for movers.
Using data from United Van Lines , Zillow released a report that shows which metros drew in the most new movers in 2023. According to the study, Charlotte has the highest net in-migration among the 50 largest markets across the country, with Raleigh ranking 5th on the list.
Last year, Charlotte topped Zillow’s annual predictions for the “hottest housing markets of the year,” The Charlotte Observer previously reported .
Where are people moving from?
The report says most people who moved to Charlotte came from New York, Chicago, Dallas and Houston. Those who planted roots in Raleigh moved from New York, Boston, Dallas and Austin.
“Affordability is one of the biggest considerations for home buyers and sellers, and clearly plays a major role in deciding where to put down roots,” said Zillow Senior Economist Orphe Divounguy.
